| association of the g4 rotavirus genotype with gastroenteritis in adults. | rotavirus is the most common etiological cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in infants and young children worldwide, yet its role in the adult population is less well understood. we have recently identified rotavirus as the causative agent of severe diarrhea in adults, specifically in two gastroenteritis outbreaks in separate care for the elderly homes. strain typing has shown the continued presence of p[8]g1, the emergence of p[8]g9, and the reemergence of p[8]g4. a total of 26 community case ... | 2006 | 16789010 |
| burden on uk secondary care of rotavirus disease and seasonal infections in children. | rotavirus is a common infection affecting children under 5 years, which leads to a significant disease burden. this burden is potentially exacerbated by the seasonality of rotavirus, particularly in the context of the seasonality of other common childhood infections. the primary study objective was to describe the pattern and burden of seasonal infections amongst children under 5 years of age with particular attention placed on rotavirus and other gastrointestinal infections. | 2010 | 20818925 |
| rotavirus infections in calves. | rotaviruses are now established as a major cause of neonatal enteritis and diarrhoea in calves. laboratory diagnosis is usually based on detection of the virus or virus antigens in faeces by direct electron microscopy or tests such as elisa and ieop. rotaviruses are resistant to inactivation and are normally present in large numbers in faeces, so that environmental contamination is both heavy and persistent. infection is transmitted primarily by faecal-oral contact. calves are usually protected ... | 1983 | 6677180 |
| evidence for serotypic variation among bovine rotaviruses. | eight field strains of calf rotavirus from the u.k. were compared by neutralisation tests, using convalescent and hyperimmune antisera. seven of these strains cross-reacted and were considered to be of one serotype, while the 8th was distinguished by a greater than 20-fold two-way difference in neutralisation titre suggesting a second serotype. three widely-distributed reference strains (u.k., northern ireland and lincoln) cross-reacted with the strains in the dominant serotype, as did 33 of 42 ... | 1984 | 6320775 |
| an otofuke-like virus associated with diarrhoea. case report and electronmicroscopic study. | virus particles similar to otofuke virus have been found, together with rotaviruses and astroviruses, by electronmicroscopy in faeces from an infant with diarrhoea in northern ireland. previously otofuke virus has been found only in japan whence it may have been carried to this country by a businessman. | 1985 | 4082360 |
| genotypes and subtypes of cryptosporidium spp. in neonatal calves in northern ireland. | cryptosporidium spp. in diarrheic calves less than 30 days old from farms across northern ireland were examined over a year period by microscopic, genotyping, and subtyping techniques to characterize the transmission dynamics. cryptosporidium oocysts were detected in 291 of 779 (37.4%) animals. the prevalence rates of rotavirus, coronavirus, and escherichia coli k99+ were lower as seen in 242 of 806 (30.0%), 46/806 (5.7%), and 16/421 (3.8%) of animals, respectively. of the 224 cryptosporidium-po ... | 2007 | 17031699 |
