Two strains of human rotavirus in Auckland. 1979

M C Croxson, and A R Bellamy

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of human rotavirus RNA has identified at least two distinct strains of virus currently circulating in Auckland. The sensitivity of the method both for detecting rotavirus infection and for identifying variation in rotavirus strains is discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007223	Infant	A child between 1 and 23 months of age.	Infants
D007231	Infant, Newborn	An infant during the first 28 days after birth.	Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D003967	Diarrhea	An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight.	Diarrheas
D004591	Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide Gel	Electrophoresis in which a polyacrylamide gel is used as the diffusion medium.	Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis,SDS-PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-PAGE,Gel Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide,SDS PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-PAGEs
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D012328	RNA Viruses	Viruses whose genetic material is RNA.	RNA Rodent Viruses,RNA Rodent Virus,RNA Virus,Rodent Virus, RNA,Rodent Viruses, RNA,Virus, RNA,Virus, RNA Rodent,Viruses, RNA,Viruses, RNA Rodent
D012367	RNA, Viral	Ribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses.	Viral RNA
D012401	Rotavirus	A genus of REOVIRIDAE, causing acute gastroenteritis in BIRDS and MAMMALS, including humans. Transmission is horizontal and by environmental contamination. Seven species (Rotaviruses A thru G) are recognized.	Neonatal Calf Diarrhea Virus,Rotaviruses
