Abstract
An aqueous extract of freeze-dried garlic (Allium sativum), when incorporated into growth media, inhibited many representative bacteria, yeasts, fungi and a virus. All microorganisms tested were susceptible to garlic. Quantitative assessment of the minimum inhibitory concentrations for bacteria and yeasts showed values ranging from 0.8 to 40.0 mg garlic ml(-1). Fungal radial colony growth was inhibited by at least 25% at concentrations as low as 2.0 mg garlic ml(-1). The 50% endpoint neutralization titre for rotavirus was 2.4 to 2.8 μg ml(-1). Lactic acid bacteria were the least sensitive microorganisms to the inhibitory effects of garlic. In mixed culture studies of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Escherichia coli, garlic prevented the establishment of E. coli, although the final outcome of competition was not affected.

Abstract
Simple genome profile studies on polyacrylamide gels allow all non-group A rotaviruses isolated so far to be recognized by the absence of the tight triplet (7-9) of RNA segments seen in all group A viruses. However, reliance solely on genome profile studies for rotavirus grouping can be misleading and, for virus group definition, additional corroborating nucleic acid and serological studies are essential. Terminal fingerprint analysis was the first generation of nucleic acid-based assays that allowed discrimination between the various rotavirus groups. By means of this technique the clear definition of five rotavirus groups (A-E), correlating exactly with those found by a serological assay, has been possible, with preliminary evidence for at least two additional groups. The technical sophistication of fingerprinting techniques prevents their widespread use in epidemiological studies; the development of a second generation of nucleic acid-based assays is therefore under way. These employ molecularly cloned cDNA probes to the genomes of non-group A viruses which can be widely distributed for use in 'dot-blot' screening of faecal samples and, if expressed as protein in Escherichia coli, should provide a ready source of viral antigen for use in surveying viral prevalence through the screening of serum antibody levels.

Abstract
Viral replication events can be enhanced by physical, chemical, or heat treatment of cells. The centrifugation of cells can stimulate them to proliferate, reduce their generation times, and activate gene expression. Human endothelial cells can be activated to release cyclo-oxygenase metabolites after rocking for 5 min, and mechanical stress can stimulate endothelial cells to proliferate. Centrifugation of virus-infected cultures can increase cytopathic effects (CPE), enhance the number of infected cells, increase viral yields, and reduce viral detection times and may increase viral isolation rates. The rolling of virus-infected cells also has an effect similar to that of centrifugation. The continuous rolling of virus-infected cultures at < or = 2.0 rpm can enhance enterovirus, rhinovirus, reovirus, rotavirus, paramyxovirus, herpesvirus, and vaccinia virus CPE or yields or both. For some viruses, the continuous rolling of infected cell cultures at 96 rpm (1.9 x g) is superior to rolling at 2.0 rpm for viral replication or CPE production. In addition to centrifugation and rolling, the treatment of cells with chemicals or heat can also enhance viral yields or CPE. For example, the treatment of virus-infected cells with dimethyl sulfoxide can enhance viral transformation, increase plaque numbers and plaque size, increase the number of cells producing antigens, and increase viral yields. The infectivity of fowl plague virus is increased by 80-fold when 4% dimethyl sulfoxide is added to culture medium immediately after infection. The heat shocking of virus-infected cells also has been shown to have a stimulatory effect on the replication events of cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and human immunodeficiency virus. The effects of motion, chemicals, or heat treatments on viral replication are not well understood. These treatments apparently activate cells to make them more permissive to viral infection and viral replication. Perhaps heat shock proteins or stress proteins are a common factor for this enhancement phenomenon. The utility of these treatments alone or in combination with other methods for enhancing viral isolation and replication in a diagnostic setting needs further investigation.

Abstract
Rotaviruses were concentrated from 8-liter samples of raw domestic sewage and sewage-polluted creek water by adsorption to and elution from positively charged microporous filters (Zeta Plus 60S), followed by ultracentrifugation of the filter eluates. Indirect immunofluorescence and direct immunoperoxidase methods allowed detection and enumeration of rotavirus in 6 (20.6%) of 29 sewage samples and in 19 (34.5%) of 55 creek water samples. Levels of rotaviruses ranged from < 3 to 63 focus-forming units (FFU)/liter, and the geometric means were 2.2 FFU/liter in sewage, 2.9 FFU/liter at creek Tremembé, and 2.6 FFU/liter at creek Pirajussara. Wastewater samples examined during autumn and winter months showed a higher rate positivity for rotavirus than those collected in spring and summer, corresponding to the seasonal variation of rotaviral diarrhea in the city of São Paulo.

Abstract
The effect of centrifugal inoculation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) on the infectivity of the viruses for cell cultures was examined. Three HIV-1 strains, ARV-2, HTLV-IIIb and a local isolate, WA-46c, were tested in peripheral blood lymphocytes, HUT-78, H9 and MT-2 cells. The HHV-6 strain was a local isolate and was studied only in peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures. Centrifugal inoculation of the viruses at a force of 2500 x g for 60 min, enhanced HIV-1 infectivity by a factor of about 10-fold in all cell cultures tested. Infectivity was increased about 100-fold for HHV-6.

Abstract
In a study of the infection of mouse embryo fibroblasts with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), we found that plaque number is directly related to virus concentration and not to the total amount of virus contained in the inoculum. These results suggested that virus binding was reversible and that during infection a binding equilibrium is established which limits the amount of bound virus. Further analysis revealed three categories of plaque based on reversibility after virus adsorption. One group was removed simply by washing cell monolayers after virus removal. A second group of plaques was lost gradually with time, giving complete reversal after 5 min at 37 degrees C. The rate of reversal was temperature dependent, and probably represented true virus dissociation. The final group was irreversible plaques, the number of which increased with increasing infection time. The number of reversible plaques remained constant with time of infection, and represented about 70% of the total plaques after 1 h of virus adsorption. Centrifugation of the virus inoculum onto the fibroblast monolayer at 1000 X g increased plaque numbers up to 100-fold, but had little effect on plaque number when carried out after the virus inoculum was removed. In contrast centrifugation increased the number of reversible plaques, suggesting an increase in the number of virus particles attached to the cell monolayers. We suggest that centrifugation enhances MCMV infection by three mechanisms related to reversibility of binding: (1), it increases the rate of virus association; (2), it decreases the rate of dissociation; (3), by increasing the length of time each virus particle is bound it increases the probability of virus being taken into the cell.

Abstract
A porcine enteric calicivirus-like virus was adapted to serial propagation in primary porcine kidney cell cultures. Attempts to propagate this virus in primary porcine kidney cells in the presence of trypsin or pancreatin or without medium supplementation were unsuccessful. A low-pH medium (pH 6.8) was also ineffective in virus propagation. Successful serial propagation of the virus required the presence of an intestinal-content preparation, derived from uninfected gnotobiotic pigs, in the cell culture medium. The best results were obtained with six-well plate cultures which were centrifuged after virus inoculation. Infected cells were detected by immunofluorescent staining of cell monolayers or detached cells which were harvested by centrifugation. Infected cells were first detected at passage 4 (1% infected cells), and infectivity increased with successive passages, with as many as 80% of the cells infected by passage 16. Extensive cytopathic effects were observed in inoculated cell cultures, but not in uninoculated control cell cultures, at each passage level after passage 13. The infected cells became separated, rounded, and detached, forming holes in the cell monolayer. Only virus particles exhibiting the six-pointed star appearance or stain-filled, cup-shaped depressions characteristic of caliciviruses were detected in inoculated cell culture supernatants by immune electron microscopy. Attempts to determine the titer of the virus by a cell culture immunofluorescence assay or plaque assay were unsuccessful.

Abstract
A cell culture immunofluorescence (CCIF) assay was optimized for detection of porcine pararotavirus (group C rotavirus) in intestinal contents. The greatest viral infectivity was observed when MA104 cells (5 days after subculturing) were rinsed and refed in serum-free medium before inoculation, pancreatin was added to the inocula, and the inocula were centrifuged onto the cells. Gentamicin treatment of pararotavirus samples to reduce bacterial contamination also reduced the viral infectivity of these samples for MA104 cells. An indirect CCIF assay was used to determine the prevalence of pararotavirus and rotavirus antibodies in pig sera. In pigs from four herds, pararotavirus antibodies were detected in 100% (68 of 68) of adults and 59% (24 of 41) of weanling pigs, while 86% (24 of 28) of nursing pigs from 12 herds had pararotavirus antibodies. The physicochemical properties of pararotavirus were examined and compared with those of group A rotaviruses by using the CCIF assay to quantitate in vitro changes in viral infectivity. Pararotavirus was inactivated (greater than or equal to 99% reduction in titer) by heating to 56 degrees C for 30 min, was slightly labile at pH 3 (16 to 34% reduction in titer), and was stable at pH 5 (0 to 17% reduction in titer) and in either (3 to 19% reduction in titer). One group A rotavirus (Gottfried strain) was stable at 56 degrees C (0% reduction in titer), whereas the OSU strain of group A rotavirus was inactivated at this temperature (99% reduction in titer).

Abstract
Rotaviruses were detected by an ELISA test in stool specimens from diarrheic rabbits in two commercial rabbitries and cultured in MA 104 cells. Their identity was confirmed by electron microscopy and indirect immunofluorescence. They were found to belong to subgroup I by testing with monoclonal antibodies and to serotype 3 by neutralization with homologous and heterologous antisera. Although both viruses were neutralized by antiserum to human serotype 3 the ALA rabbit rotavirus was minimally neutralized by antiserum to the C11 rabbit rotavirus. Electrophoresis of viral RNA revealed 11 segments characteristic of rotavirus, however both rabbit rotaviruses had unusual electropherotypes. They differed from each other with greatly reduced mobility of the tenth segment in one virus and the eleventh segment in the other virus.

Abstract
During February and March 1984, 207 fecal samples from infants and children with gastroenteritis were tested for rotavirus with four techniques: two enzyme immunoassays (Rotazyme; Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, Ill., and Enzygnost-Rotavirus; Calbiochem-Behring, La Jolla, Calif.) and two latex agglutination tests (Rotalex; Orion Research, Inc., Cambridge, Mass., and Slidex Rota-Kit; Biomérieux). All stool samples were also tested for yeasts and bacterial pathogens. Electron microscopy was used to investigate discrepant results. We found 47% positive samples with Enzygnost-Rotavirus, 38% with Rotazyme, 37% with Slidex Rota-Kit, and 34% with Rotalex. No specimen was found positive by Rotazyme only or Slidex Rota-Kit only. On the contrary, 12 samples which were positive with Enzygnost-Rotavirus only and 3 which were positive with Rotalex only were not confirmed as positive by electron microscopy. Both enzyme immunoassays gave 6% equivocal results; Slidex Rota-Kit gave significantly fewer equivocal results than did Rotalex: 2.9% versus 9.7% (P less than 0.01). The sensitivity and specificity of latex tests compared favorably with that of enzyme immunoassays. Latex agglutination tests can be performed by unskilled personnel and are rapid and relatively cheap. They appear to be very suitable for routine laboratory work and may prove useful for large-scale screening in developing countries.

Abstract
A latex agglutination (LA) test was evaluated for the detection of human rotaviruses in stool specimens. Both antiserum and immunoglobulin G (IgG)-sensitized latex particles were used, with IgG-coated beads being more sensitive for human rotavirus antigen detection. Latex beads sensitized with anti-simian-SA-11 IgG were stable for at least 8 months when stored at 4 degrees C. The sensitivity of the test was compared with that of the Rotazyme (Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Div., North Chicago, Ill.) test. The least number of particles detected was 9.0 X 10(5) particles by the LA test versus 4.5 X 10(5) particles by the Rotazyme test. When 10 stool specimens were serially diluted for antigen endpoint determinations, the geometric mean titer by the LA test was 592 versus 1,280 by the Rotazyme test. Forty-three stool samples positive by the Rotazyme test were all positive by the LA test, and no false negative results were detected. Unconfirmed false positive reactions ranged between 8 and 24%. The LA test for rotavirus antigen detection is direct, easy to perform, sensitive, quick, and may have application for use in diagnostic laboratories, emergency rooms, and physician's offices.

Abstract
A direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (EIA) for the detection of rotavirus in neonatal stools was developed. Rabbit antiserum against SA 11 rotavirus was incorporated as both coating and detector antibody, and rotavirus-negative rabbit serum was applied as a coating antibody control to eliminate false positive results. Pretreatment of stools with EDTA was found to increase both the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. This effect was greatest when 0.25 M EDTA (tetrasodium salt) was included in homogenized stool suspensions before the removal of solid debris by centrifugation. By electron microscopy, this EDTA pretreatment appeared to partly uncoat human rotavirus particles in faeces. Potentially suitable solid phase supports and horseradish peroxidase substrates were evaluated in the development of the assay. Screening of stool samples revealed that repeated freezing and thawing of stools eliminated positive EIA reactions. The SA 11 coating antibody compared favourably with a reference coating antiserum prepared against human faecal rotavirus strains. This EIA showed greater sensitivity for rotavirus detection than electron microscopy of stool concentrates prepared by ultracentrifugation, on testing 143 stools from 99 neonates and children. The assay has been applied successfully to detection of rotavirus in stools of neonates containing meconium, smaller amounts of viral antigen than in older children, and lacteal antirotaviral antibody. It is likely to be particularly useful for cross-infection studies in hospital wards and neonatal nurseries.

A technique which includes the use of indirect immunoperoxidase antibody (IPA) has been developed for detecting enteric adenovirus and rotavirus antigens in cell cultures and has been compared with immunofluorescence antibody assay (IFA). The IPA technique was as sensitive as the IFA. The number of positive cells detected by both techniques in tissue cultures was the same; false positive results were not observed. The applicability of IPA in clinical virology is discussed.

Abstract
Four methods for detecting rotaviruses (latex agglutination, electron microscopy, immunofluorescence and ELISA) have been compared on 57 faecal samples from children with acute diarrhoea. Complete agreement among the four techniques was found in 38 samples. One sample was positive by ELISA and latex agglutination but negative by the other two. For all the other samples there was agreement among three of the techniques only. In a blocking ELISA test, samples positive by ELISA only, turned out to be falsely positive. Assuming true positive or negative for those samples for which at least three techniques were in agreement, electron microscopy, ELISA and latex agglutination were more sensitive (96 per cent) than immunofluorescence (84 per cent). Electron microscopy was the most specific (96.4 per cent), followed by immunofluorescence (92.9 per cent), ELISA (89.4 per cent) and latex agglutination (85.9 per cent).

Abstract
A selection of microplates and an inverted microscope were used for the detection of immuno-fluorescence in large numbers of infected cell monolayers. The optical features of this instrument in combination with either Terasaki or Microlymp plates, simplify procedures and allow economical use of reagents, for determining fluorescent antibody levels. The techniques described were applied for estimating M and G immunoglobulins against rotavirus in elderly patients and the validity of the tests was established.

For the isolates tested "blind" under code in parallel the serotyping results obtained by ELISA and serum neutralization of fluorescent focus formation were the same. After absorption of the typing antisera with purified heterotypic rotavirus, up to 128-fold differences in titres between isolates were observed in the ELISA test. The results of serotyping and subgrouping, by ELISA, of strains previously described and characterized by the authors' and other laboratories are also given. An attempt is made to correlate the serological findings with variations between virus strains based upon patterns of genome molecular weights as revealed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The application of this ELISA technique to epidemiological studies and vaccine research is discussed.

Abstract
The effects of relative humidity and temperature on the survival of human rotavirus in a thin layer of faeces on an impervious surface and on absorbent material was investigated using the indirect immunofluorescence technique in LLC-MK2 cells to titrate infectivity. Rotavirus was found to be very stable at low and high relative humidities but not in the medium range of relative humidity. Rotavirus infectivity was lost more rapidly under all humidities at 37 degrees C than at 4 degrees or 20 degrees C.

Abstract
Twenty different human rotavirus reassortants were characterized serologically by a plaque reduction assay as belonging to one of three distinct serotypes. Fourteen were similar if not identical to our prototype Wa strain; two were like the prototype DS-1 strain, and four belonged to a third serotype for which a prototype has not yet been selected. Hyperimmune sera raised against the three serotypes were required to distinguish among them, since postinfection sera had lower titers and were more cross-reactive than hyperimmune sera. These results confirmed the ability of a qualitative cytopathic neutralization test to predict correctly the Wa or DS-1 serotype. A strain of rhesus rotavirus (MMU 18006) was identified as belonging to the newly defined third serotype. Finally, an attempt was made to correlate previously published serotype analysis by neutralization of fluorescent cell-forming units with the results determined by the plaque reduction neutralization assay.

Abstract
The sensitivity and specificity of an enzyme immunoassay (Rotazyme), an ongrid immunoelectron microscopy procedure, and conventional negative stain electron microscopic techniques were compared. By using partially purified human rotavirus and simian rotavirus (SA-11) of known particle concentration, the enzyme immunoassay was essentially equivalent to the immunoelectron microscopic procedure and significantly more sensitive than conventional electron microscopic techniques. The level of sensitivity was approximately 10(6) particles per ml for simian rotavirus SA-11 and 10(7) particles per ml for human rotavirus. In an evaluation of 455 clinical samples by these techniques, a sensitivity of 98% and specificity of 92% were demonstrated. Samples negative by the immunoelectron microscopic procedure and positive by enzyme immunoassay could be confirmed by a blocking assay.

Abstract
Some characteristics of a newly recognized porcine enteric virus are described. Tentatively, the virus was referred to as porcine pararotavirus (PaRV) because it resembled rotaviruses in respect to size, morphology, and tropism for villous enterocytes of the small intestine. However, it was antigenically distinct from porcine, human, and bovine rotaviruses and reoviruses 1, 2, and 3, and the electrophoretic migration pattern of PaRV double-stranded RNA was distinct from the electrophoretic migration patterns of the rotaviral and reoviral genomes. By passage in gnotobiotic pigs, PaRV was isolated from two suckling diarrheic pigs originating from two herds. After oral exposure of gnotobiotic pigs, villous enterocytes of the small intestines became infected as judged by immunofluorescence, resulting in villous atrophy and diarrhea. Mortality was high when gnotobiotic pigs less than 5 days old were infected. The C strain of this virus was serially passed 10 times in gnotobiotic pigs, and electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and serological tests indicated no extraneous agents. The virus was serially passed five times in cell cultures which contained pancreatin in the medium, but replication was negligible or absent, as the number of immunofluorescent cells decreased with each passage. Since rotaviral infections are frequently diagnosed by direct electron microscopy of fecal specimens, the presence of other morphologically similar viruses, such as PaRV, should be considered. The use of immune electron microscopy is suggested as a means of helping recognize this situation.

Abstract
This chapter illustrates the development of the use of electron microscopy in viral diagnosis. The field covered is confined to medical viral diagnosis, but parallel developments have taken place in both veterinary and botanical fields and techniques derived from both these sources are also included where relevant. It is reported that the scanning transmission mode of operation, which can induce image contrast changes electronically, may enhance studies with unstained sections and perhaps facilitate thin section immune electron microscopy (IEM). The application of negative stain IEM has been particularly useful for the study of the antigenic nature of some of the newly discovered noncultivable viruses. Viral antigens can also be detected in thin sections of infected cells by IEM with suitably labeled specific antibodies. Confirmation of viral infection by electron microscopy on tissues originally processed for light microscopy is also frequently useful.

Abstract
The infectivity of most rotaviruses is enhanced by treatment with trypsin. We studied the mechanism of enhancement of examining the effect of trypsin on rotavirus infectivity, aggregation, early interactions with host cells, and structure. The results indicated that trypsin does not increase levels of infectious virus by dispersion of aggregates or affect the efficiency or rate of attachment of virus to cells. A fraction of virus that was not infections without trypsin treatment was found to attach to cells, but did not initiate antigen synthesis. When cells were infected with labeled, purified virus, increased levels of uncoated particles were found in cells infected with trypsin-treated virus. Infection of cells with trypsin-treated virus also led to greater levels of RNA synthesis early in the infection. The results suggest that trypsin converts a noninfectious fraction of virus into infectious virus by allowing this fraction to uncoat in the infected cell. Trypsin was found to cleave an 88,000-dalton structural polypeptide of bovine rotavirus generating 67,000- and 20,000-dalton cleavage products.

Abstract
A four-layer solid phase enzyme-immunoassay (EIA) with antisera against Nebraska calf diarrhoea virus (NCDV) as immunoreagents was developed to detect human rotavirus antigens from stool specimens of patients with acute rotavirus gastroenteritis. Polystyrene beads were used as the solid phase, guinea-pig and rabbit anti-NCDV immunoglobulin as the catching and secondary antibody, and peroxidase-conjugated swine anti-rabbit immunoglobulin as the indicator antibody. A comparison of the developed NCDV-EIA with an identical EIA, using antisera against human rotavirus (HRV-EIA) instead of NCDV antisera, was made with 216 stool specimens positive or negative for rotavirus. A complete agreement was obtained between the two methods provided that appropriate confirmatory tests were included. The developed NCDV-EIA was as sensitive and specific for rotavirus as the HRV-EIA, and it allowed the detection of both established rotavirus types 1 and 2 from stools with equal sensitivity. The difficulties in cultivating human rotavirus in vitro for immunisation and the relative ease of growing NCDV in widely-used continuous cell lines make NCDV a good alternative in the preparation of the highly specific and sensitive rotavirus antisera required in immunoassays, and facilitate the setting-up methods for the routine diagnosis of rotavirus gastroenteritis by EIA or RIA in diagnostic virus laboratories.

Abstract
Human rotavirus (HRV) in faeces of patients may be readily detected with high sensitivity and specificity using latex agglutination (LA) on a glass slide by making use of the cross-reactivity of anti-calf rotavirus (CRV) antibody. Latex particles were coated with anti-CRV immunoglobin. The antibody coated particles (AC-L) are specifically agglutinated by both CRV and HRV, and the agglutination is evident macroscopically within a minute. To examine the sensitivity and reliability of the LA method compared to other methods, HRV in faecal extracts of 48 infants with acute gastroenteritis was sought by the LA, reversed passive haemagglutination (RPHA) and electron microscope (EM) methods. Samples positive by the EM method were all positive by the LA method, and samples negative by EM were all negative by LA. The LA method is suitable for application as a simple clinical diagnostic test.

Abstract
The influence of divalent cations on the stability of human rotavirus was investigated using the indirect immunofluorescence (FA) technique in LLC-MK2 cells to titrate infectivity. Rotavirus infectivity was stabilized by calcium and strontium ions in solution but not by magnesium ions. Rotavirus isolates were found to be much less stable at 37 degrees C than at + 4 degrees C or 20 degrees. A study of virus morphology at intervals during the course of the experiment and treatment with the chelating agents EDTA and EGTA suggests that loss of infectivity coincides with the removal of the outer capsid layer and that calcium may be required to maintain virus integrity.

Abstract
Analysis of purified simian rotavirus has shown that it contains fewer structural polypeptide classes than previously reported. Two polypeptides (molecular weights, 62,000 and 28,000) commonly found in purified rotaviruses were, in fact, produced by cleavage of a larger structural polypeptide (molecular weight, about 88,000) by trypsin, which is usually employed to increase the yield of rotaviruses in tissue culture. Trypsin-uncleaved, double-shelled rotaviruses are probably composed of only five polypeptide classes; three in the inner layer, and two in the outer layer.

Abstract
The use of negative contrast electronmicroscopy of stool suspension in the investigation of the aetiology of childhood gastroenteritis has led to the recognition of a number of candidate viral agents. There is convincing evidence that rotavirus is the single most important cause of community acquired gastroenteritis, and is responsible for some nosocomial outbreaks. The epidemiology of rotavirus acqusition, differential clinical susceptibilities of young and older infants, pathogenesis of disease, mechanisms of immunity and breast milk protection, and the role of different viral serotypes are aspects as yet poorly understood; and attempts to propagate human rotavirus in tissue culture have met with only limited success. Moreover, the aetiologically unaccountable one third of cases of infantile diarrhoea, and the association of enteritis with up to six other virus-like particles add to the complexity of the problem. This review considers the available data from human and animal studies, and based on the experience of ourselves and others comments on the present state of knowledge and trends in continuing research.

Abstract
To study the epidemiologic and clinical features of rotavirus infections, we enrolled 98 families in a prospective study of diarrhea in households with newborn children. Families were seen at three-month intervals and whenever ill. The mean follow-up period was 16.4 months. Rotavirus infections were documented by electron microscopy of feces, indirect fluorescent-antibody assays in serum or both. The 43 infections identified in adults represented an attack rate of 0.17 per adult per year. Ninety-three per cent of these infections occurred from November through May. Seventeen adults had gastrointestinal symptoms, most often diarrhea (in 14) or abdominal cramps (in 11). Rotavirus infections occurred in 36 of 102 adults whose children had rotavirus infection, as compared with four of 86 without infected children (P less than 0.001). Serum rotavirus antibody did not correlate with a reduced risk of infection or symptomatic disease. Rotavirus is a mild but common infection in parents of young children.

Abstract
Rotaviruses were detected by electron microscopy in the faeces of turkey poults and broiler chickens with diarrhoea. Apparently symptomless infection was also observed in broilers. The avian rotaviruses could not be isolated in cell cultures by conventional techniques, but were adapted to serial growth in chick cell cultures following trypsin treatment of the virus and the cells. Immunofluorescence studies showed that the avian and mammalian rotaviruses are antigenically related. Antibodies to rotavirus were widespread in sera collected from turkeys, chickens and ducks.

Abstract
A solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) has been developed for the detection of human rotavirus-specific IgA, IgG, and IgM antibodies. Nebraska calf diarrhea virus grown in LLC-MK2 cell cultures in the presence of trypsin was directly adsorbed onto polystyrene balls, and antibodies that attached to the virus-coated balls were detected by subsequent binding of 125I-labeled antibodies specific to human alpha, gamma or mu chains of human Iga, IgG, or IgM immunoglobulins. A total of 116 serum specimens from 58 adult patients were tested. Binding ratios between the positive and the negative serum varied between 5 and 15, occasionally being 20 or more in the IgA and IgG assays, but rarely exceeding 3 in the IgM assay. The RIA was found to be more sensitive in detecting antibodies to rotavirus than the complement fixation (CF) test, the RIA titers obtained being 50--100 times as high as the CF titers. The method described offers a possibility of evaluating the immune response to human rotavirus and of detecting recent infection.

Abstract
It has long been possible to isolate viruses from the stools by culture, though the viruses found are rarely implicated in disease of the gut. In contrast, only recently has it been possible to identify viruses in the stools of patients with diarrhoea. Initially, such identifications were made by electron microscopy but the unsuitability of the microscope for large-scale screening has led to the development of other methods. The new methods have concentrated on rotaviruses but other viruses are also implicated and an overall view of the significance of finding a virus in any stool specimen has to take into account the evidence about all viruses, old and new.
