Abstract:
:Rotaviruses contain a double-stranded ribonucleic acid genome consisting of 11 segments. Gel electrophoresis separates genome segments and allows identification of strain differences. This electrophoretic typing technique was applied to rotavirus specimens from 116 children and 72 newborn babies. Between 1973 and 1979, 17 different electropherotypes of rotavirus were observed in children with acute gastroenteritis. These electropherotypes showed a sequential pattern of appearance, with a limited number of electropherotypes present at any given time. By contrast, only two electropherotypes were identified from isolates from newborn babies in seven hospitals during 1975 to 1979. These two electropherotypes were very similar and were never identified in children with acute gastroenteritis. One of the neonatal electropherotypes was found in the nurseries of five different hospitals and persisted in one hospital for 4 years. Electrophoretic typing techniques can be applied routinely and reproducibly to small samples of feces and could prove to be of value in epidemiological studies of rotavirus infection
