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
epidemic viral enteritis in a long-stay children's ward.	two outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis occurred in 1974 in a long-stay children's ward. electron microscopy demonstrated rotaviruses in faeces from the affected children in the first outbreak, and adenoviruses in faeces from affected children and a nurse in the second outbreak. the illness in both outbreaks was very mild; but the diarrhoea associated with rotavirus infection usually lasted 5-8 days (in one patient it lasted for 28 days) and sometimes started with vomiting; whereas the adenovirus ...	1975	46358

rotaviruses and acute gastroenteritis of infants and children.	by means of electron microscopy and ultracentrifugation techniques rotavirus-like particles have been found in 84 of 269 specimens of faeces collected from infants and young children admitted to the royal alexandra hospital for children, camperdown, n.s.w. during the usual winter outbreak of infantile gastroenteritis. morphologically intact viruses were also found in faecal specimens stored at -20 degrees c for up to nine years. rotaviruses were found in specimens collected from five newborn inf ...	1976	1263949
reovirus-like agent (rotavirus) from lambs.	rotavirus particles were demonstrated by electron microscopy in the feces of lambs with diarrhea. rotavirus antigen was synthesized in cell cultures infected with filtrates of the diarrheic feces, but the virus was not adapted to grow serially in cell cultures. an antigenic relationship between rotaviruses from lambs, pigs, and calves was demonstrated by immunofluorescence. colostrum-deprived lambs were infected with the lamb rotavirus, and the virus was passaged in lambs. viral replication occu ...	1976	793991
winter diarrhoea and rotaviruses in rhodesia.	in the winter fewer bacterial pathogens are isolated from patients with gastro-enteritis than in the summer. the incidence of rotavirus infection is, however, at its greatest during the winter months and the virus is rarely found in cases of gastro-enteritis which occur during the warm season. the clinical pattern in winter diarrhoea is characteristically severe and acute but there has been no mortality or cross-infection.	1976	1006454
[rotavirus infection in calves (author's transl)].	several laboratory workers have demonstrated a viral agent, suspected of playing an important role in the aetiology of calf diarrhoea during the first weeks of life. based on its morphology this agent was designated a reo-like virus. later the name rotavirus was introduced. rotaviruses were proved experimentally to induce diarrhoea in calves. usually the course of the disease after similar experimental infection is mild, but could become worse with secondary bacterial infections. the available i ...	1976	1013979
[in vitro culture of a rotavirus associated with neonatal calf diarrhea].	about fifty diarrheic fecal samples in which the calf rotavirus was present in variable quantities were passed in tissue cultures and the ability of the virus to replicate was analysed under different experimental conditions by means of an indirect immunoflourescent test. several cell species were shown to be susceptible to the virus but the best results were obtained in primary or secondary cultures of embryonic calf kidney cells in presence of maintainance medium containing 2 to 4 p. 100 foeta ...	1976	1028381
morphological and antigenic relationships between viruses (rotaviruses) from acute gastroenteritis of children, calves, piglets, mice, and foals.	the reovirus-like particles present in the feces of young pigs and foals with acute enteritis and the virus causing epizootic diarrhea of infant mice were found to be indistinguishable morphologically from each other, from the south african sa. 11 and "o" viruses, and from the rotaviruses of children and calves. the inner capsid layer of each of these viruses reacted seriologically with sera of children, calves, mice, piglets, and foals convalescent from infection with their respective rotavirus ...	1976	965097
rotavirus infection in lambs: studies on passive protection.	gnotobiotic lambs were protected against rotavirus infection by the presence in the gut at the time of infection of colostrum or serum containing antibodies to rotavirus. this protection was observed even when passively-acquired antibody was not present in the serum of the infected lamb. infection under these conditions may have conferred immunity to subsequent challenge.	1976	999520

implications of recent virological researches.	rotaviruses (duoviruses) can be found in more than half the cases of acute diarrhoea in children up to the age of six or seven. about that age almost everyone has antibodies to them. second infections occur and may not be as rare as laboratory findings so far suggest. very young infants sometimes get subclinical disease-the effect of maternal antibody transmitted across the placenta? very similar viruses, all possessing a common antigen detectable by immunofluorescence, are known to infect and/o ...	1976	186237
the isolation of reovirus-like agents (rota-viruses) from acute gastroenteritis of piglets.	isolations of reovirus-like agents (rotaviruses) were made from nine of 23 outbreaks of piglet diarrhoea on different farms and from both weaned and unweaned piglets. the viruses were shown to be morphologically and anti-genically similar to the rotaviruses of children and calves. gnotobiotig piglets given intranasal inoculations of five different isolates developed acute gastroenteritis, and the virus was re-isolated from the faeces or intestinal contents. the piglet virus was not adapted to re ...	1976	180294
pathogenic rotaviruses isolated from pigs and calves.	rotavirus is commonly isolated from diarrhoeic calves and pigs. bacterium-free faecal filtrates containing rotavirus from five different outbreaks of disease in calves all caused diarrhoea and clinical illness in gnotobiotic calves and five different isolates from pigs were inoculated into gnotobiotic pigs with similar results. the author was unsuccessful in finding an avirulent strain although one of the calf isolates was from a non-diarrhoeic calf. the laboratory strain of calf virus retained ...	1976	186238

virus-specific igm antibodies in acute gastroenteritis due to a reovirus-like agent (rotavirus).	62 serum samples from 24 patients with rotavirus gastroenteritis were tested for igm antibodies against a bovine rotavirus by an indirect fluorescent antibody technique. igm antibodies were detected in one or more of the serum samples from all but one of the patients. igm antibodies were not detected in samples obtained from 11 of the patients after the 5th week of illness. absorption of sera for igg with staphylococcus aureus increased the sensitivity of the igm antibody test. it is concluded t ...	1976	188117
the clinical features of infantile gastroenteritis due to rotavirus.	the symptoms of 100 hospitalised cases of rotavirus infantile gastroenteritis are described. most patients presented with high fever between the 2nd and 5th day, having started with diarrhoea or vomiting or both. 42% of the infants had upper respiratory tract symptoms. severe electrolyte disturbance did not occur, although there was a suggestion of a correlation between the higher blood ureas and the number of rotavirus particles in the stools. the mean duration of illness of uncomplicated cases ...	1976	188118
rotavirus-associated gastroenteritis in two adults probably caused by virus reinfection.	rotavirus infection was diagnosed by virus detection and by serological methods in 2 women with acute gastroenteritis, aged 22 and 29 years, respectively. both patients had been in close contact with children with rotavirus gastroenteritis. rotavirus-specific antibodies were detected in serum specimens obtained prior to the illness in one of the patients, and the serological response in both patients suggested a reinfection with rotavirus as cause of the disease.	1976	188119
recent advances in the aetiology of viral gastroenteritis.	studies with the human reovirus-like (hrvl) agnet, also designated rotavirus and duovirus, have revealed that it is a major aetiological agent of diarrhoea of infants and young children in many parts of the world. in a study of patients admitted with a diarrhoeal illness to the children's hospital of the district of columbia in the united states from january 1974 to june 1975, it was found that half of the patients studied by both virus shedding (by electron microscopy) and serological (compleme ...	1976	186239
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 epidemic of diarrhoea in human neonates involving a reovirus-like agent and 'enteropathogenic' serotypes of escherichia coli.	during december 1974, an epidemic of diarrhoea occurred in the royal children's hospital, melbourne, in a ward caring for neonates with acute or chronic medical and surgical problems. electron microscopy of diarrhoeal faeces revealed a reovirus-like particle ('duovirus' or 'rotavirus') known to cause acute enteritis in older children. this virus is considered to have been primarily involved in the aetiology of the epidemic. in addition, three 'enteropathogenic' serotypes of escherichia coli were ...	1976	175099
characterization of pig rotavirus rna.	pig rotavirus was purified from faeces. the rna from this virus was resistant to pancreatic ribonuclease, indicating that it is double-stranded. when electrophoresed on polyacrylamide-agarose gels, pig rotavirus rna migrated as 9 bands comprised of 11 or 12 rna segments with a total mol. wt. of approx. 11 x 10(6). co-electrophoresis experiments revealed that the rnas from the pig virus and two isolates of the calf rotavirus were indistinguishable.	1976	185325
reovirus-like agent (rotavirus) associated with neonatal calf gastroenteritis in france.	a reo-like virus (calf rotavirus) was shown to be associated with cases of neonatal calf diarrhea in france. the virus could be detected in more than 50 p. 100 of diarrheic fecal samples, while it was practically absent in control samples originating from healthy calves that had never had diarrhea. the results obtained by electron microscopy and immunofluorescent studies indicate that the virus is closely related or identical to the agent isolated originally in the united states.	1976	185934
characterization of two particle types of calf rotavirus.	two distinct types of rotavirus particle were isolated in caesium chloride density gradients. the higher density particle banded at 1-38 g/ml and measured 55 +/- 0-4 nm in diameter while the less dense particle banded at 1-36 g/ml, measured 66 +/- 0-4 nm in diameter and appeared to possess an extra outer capsid layer. some forms intermediate between the two types were seen. since the two particles had a similar but not identical morphology and polypeptide composition, they were considered to be ...	1976	180243
rotavirus infections in a maternity unit.	between may and august 1975, rotaviruses were detected in the stools of 76 out of 174 (44%) newborn babies in the maternity unit at this hospital. infection occurred less frequently in breast-fed than in bottle-fed babies (p less than 0.001). however, only 7 out of 76 (8%) babies who excreted rotaviruses had symptoms and these were mild. complement fixation tests did not show any apparent difference in the antibody titres or serological responses between mothers of rotavirus positive or negative ...	1976	189702
a rotavirus in lambs with diarrhoea.	a reovirus-like agent was identified from an outbreak of enteritis in young lambs. from its morphology and immunological relationship with calf rotavirus, it was concluded that it was a rotavirus which infects lambs.	1976	1257621

propagation of the rotavirus of neonatal calf diarrhea in fetal intestinal cell cultures.	bovine fetal intestinal cells were successfully propagated in monolayer cultures for up to 21 passages. infection of these cells with the rotavirus of neonatal calf diarrhea resulted in a cytopathic effect that was more obvious than in infected bovine fetal kidney cells.	1977	861843
probable role of viruses in calfhood diseases.	bovine enteroviruses, bovine viral diarrhea virus, rotavirus (formerly called reovirus-like agent), coronavirus-like agent, bovine adenovirus, and bovine parainfluenza-3 virus have been isolated from calves suffering from neonatal disease. the experimental disease produced by these viruses is not necessarily severe or fatal, but under farm and ranch conditions, each probably serves as an added to mortality from neonatal disease. after initial losses following the introduction of a virus into a h ...	1977	190279
separation and infectivity of two particle types of human rotavirus.	two morphological types of human rotavirus particles were separated in caesium chloride density gradients. the particles of higher density ('incomplete' particles without an outer capsid layer) banded at a density of 1-38 g/ml, while the less dense ('complete' particles with an outer as well as an inner capsid layer) banded at a density of 1-36 g/ml. some particles were found with an incomplete outer layer of capsomeres. the particle/infectivity ratio for tissue cultures of the fraction containi ...	1977	199702

rotavirus and winter gastro-enteritis in white south african infants.	in a microbiological investigation of winter gastro-enteritis in 23 white children rotaviruses were found in 14 (61%) and parvovirus-like particles in 1 (4%). bacteriological examination of stools from 11 of these patients yielded one isolate of salmonella eastbourne, but no enterotoxigenic or invasive bacteria were found. rotavirus appears to be the main aetiological agent of acute winter gastro-enteritis in white infants.	1977	204064
