| importance of a new virus in acute sporadic enteritis in children. | in a year-long survey of children admitted with acute enteritis to hospital in melbourne, australia, an aetiological agent was found in approximately 75% of patients. during most months of the year a newly described virus belonging to the family reoviridae was detected by electron microscopy of faecal extracts from more than 50% of patients. recovery of this virus reached a peak (73%) during the winter. all age-group up to five years of age were susceptible to infection, which was occasionally f ... | 1975 | 46387 |

| is lactase the receptor and uncoating enzyme for infantile enteritis (rota) viruses? | rotaviruses are now regarded as important causes of diarrhoea in man, cattle, pigs, mice, and possibly other animals. characteristically, disease occurs in newborn and young animals, and infection seems limited to the differentiated gut epithelial cells. the major surface polypeptide of the calf scours rotavirus is glycosylated, and highly purified beta-galactosidase (lactase) interacts with the virus in vitro causing removal of the outer shell of the capsid (uncoating). it is suggested that lac ... | 1976 | 59021 |

| an antigenic subunit present in rotavirus infected faeces. | it has been found by immune electron microscopy that rotavirus-infected faeces, calf or human, contain an antigenic subunit associated with the inner of the two virus capsids. this internal component represents the group specific antigen for the rotavirus group and the subunit reacts with both homologous and heterologous antiserum. it can therefore be used in diagnostic tests and in this paper its use as a reagent for immunodiffusion is described. | 1977 | 65444 |

| transmission of rotavirus gastroenteritis from children to a monkey. | a pooled suspension of rotavirus was prepared from the stools of eight children with acute non-bacterial gastroenteritis. the suspension was infused into the duodenum and stomach of an infant monkey (nemestrina macaque). biopsy samples of duodenal mucosa were taken at several intervals after inoculation, examined by light and electron microscopy, and assayed for lysosomal activity. virus-like particles were seen within and around microvilli and intracellularly within vesicles as early as 20 minu ... | 1977 | 192637 |
| cell culture propagation of porcine rotavirus (reovirus-like agent). | two isolates of porcine rotavirus (reovirus-like agent) were isolated and passaged in primary procine kidney cell cultures. viral infectivity for cells was monitored by immunofluorescence because viral cytopathic effect was moderate. successful passage of virus in cell culture required that viral suspensions obtained from infected cell cultures be treated with pancreatin prior to inoculation onto cell monolayers. porcine rotavirus passage in cell culture also was accomplished, using trypsin trea ... | 1977 | 201198 |
