| genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of human rotavirus strains, 2003-2006, hungary. | rotavirus strain surveillance is being conducted in many countries before and after introduction of newly licensed vaccines to assess the impact of the vaccines on rotavirus strains. here we describe a strain surveillance study in the budapest area of hungary (2003-2006) based on rna profile analysis, genotyping by multiplex pcr and nucleotide sequencing. among 1,983 g-typed rotaviruses we identified g1 (22%), g2 (4.8%), g3 (3.5%), g4 (18.5%), g6 (1.1%), g8 (<0.1%, n = 1), g9 (42%), and g12 (3.4 ... | 2009 | 19107981 |
| burden of human rotavirus-associated hospitalizations in three geographic regions of hungary. | data on hospital admissions and laboratory reports were used to estimate the number of hospitalizations of children aged 14 y or less in three geographic regions of hungary due to group a rotavirus infection. between january 1993 and december 1996, 9182 hospitalizations for gastroenteritis occurred, of which 1946 (21%) were associated with rotavirus infection. most (90%) of the rotavirus detections were among children aged 4 y or less. by extrapolation, an estimated 5000 rotavirus-related hospit ... | 1999 | 10088914 |
