Group A rotavirus and norovirus display sharply distinct seasonal profiles in Belém,northern Brazil

Several viruses have been associated with acute gastroenteritis (AGE), and group A rotavirus (RVA) and nor-ovirus (NoV) are the most prevalent. This study aimed to assess their prevalence among children hospitalised for diarrhoea during a three-year surveillance study. From May 2008-April 2011, overall positivity rates of 21.6% (628/2904) and 35.4% (171/483) were observed for RVA and NoV, respectively. The seasonality observed indicated distinct patterns when both viruses were compared. This finding may explain why hospitalisation for AGE remains constant throughout the year. Continuous AGE monitoring is needed to better assess the patterns of infection.     

Characterization of bovine rotavirus VP6 and VP7 as glycoproteins using monoclonal antibodies

Bovine rotavirus proteins were analysed by a panel of monoclonal antibodies. Glycosylated epitopes were identified on both inner and outer capsid proteins (VP6 and VP7 respectively). VP7 possessed a periodate insensitive epitope which was, however, sensitive to endoglycosidase H, mixed glycosidases and to protease treatment. This epitope was not detected on viruses grown in the presence of 2-deoxy-D-glucose or tunicamycin. An epitope was detected on VP6 which was sensitive to periodate oxidation. The blotted protein reacted with a glycan assay kit; yet the epitope was not affected by endoglycosidase H and was found on viruses grown in the presence of 2-deoxy-D-glucose or tunicamycin. These results suggest that VP7 and VP6 epitopes are carbohydrate dependent. The VP7 epitope contains an N-linked carbohydrate moiety in contrast to the VP6 epitope which appears to contain O-linked glycosyl units.     

Detection and Typing of Human Rotavirus in Reference to Repeated Acute Gastroenteritis in Infants

Stool specimens from infants who visited a clinic because of acute gastroenteritis were tested for the presence of human rotavirus. Among the samples obtained were specimens taken from seven patients who had visited the clinic at two different times. In six of these seven children, human rotavirus (HRV) was detected in only one of the specimens taken (i.e. during only one of the two visits). One patient was shown to have excreted HRV twice; in both cases the HRV was serotyped to be type 1. The present results indicate that the symptomatic reinfection of HRV was not a widely occurring phenomenon in the group of infants tested.     

An Occurrence of Diarrheal Cases Associated with Group C Rotavirus in Adults

Six of the 23 college students who joined a group trip in February of 1991 developed acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis with severe diarrhea. The causal agent was identified as group C rotaviruses by electron microscopy (EM), immune-EM (IEM) and the molecular examinations including polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on virus particles detected in the extract of watery fecal specimens of the patients. The patients positive for virus isolation showed significant increase in IEM antibody to the isolated virus in their paired sera. These findings suggest that the group C rotavirus is an important etiological agent of diarrhea and may also cause serious food-borne diarrheal disease in adults.     

A组轮状病毒多个结构蛋白抗原表位的串联表达及其免疫原性的检测
