Prevalence of serum neutralizing antibody to serotype 9 rotavirus WI61 in children from South America and central Europe.

چکیده
Neutralizing serum antibody to serotype 9 rotavirus WI61 was detected in 41% of 870 Ecuadorian children and 26% of 140 German children. In both areas an age-related prevalence increase was observed. We identified 11 serum samples from Ecuadorian children which neutralized exclusively serotype 9 rotavirus. Thirteen of 71 (18%) German children hospitalized with serologically defined primary rotavirus gastroenteritis showed a seroconversion to serotype 9 rotavirus; however, in 10 of these 13 patients, the infecting serotype could be identified as serotype 1, 3, or 4. Furthermore, all 13 patients showed fourfold increases in titer to at least one further serotype.

Rotavirus isolate WI61 representing a presumptive new human serotype.
A virus (strain WI61) representing a presumptive new human serotype was isolated from an 18-month-old child with gastroenteritis admitted to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in February 1983. The WI61 virus was clearly distinguished by cross-neutralization tests from human rotaviruses of serotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4, human 69M, and representative bovine (NCDV), porcine (OSU), and chicken (Ch2) r...
متن کاملPrevalence of neutralizing antibodies against different rotavirus serotypes in children with severe rotavirus-induced diarrhea and their mothers.
Neutralizing antibody (NAb) responses to different rotavirus serotypes were compared in 64 convalescent-phase serum samples from hospitalized rotavirus-positive children less than 2 years of age and their mothers. Compared to the child patients, the mothers showed significantly higher NAb positivity to animal rotavirus serotypes G3 simian (96.88%), G6 bovine (85.94%), and G10 bovine (25.0%) and...
متن کاملNeutralizing serum antibodies to serotype 6 human rotaviruses PA151 and PA169 in Ecuadorian and German children.
Serum samples from 726 Ecuadorian children who underwent natural rotavirus (RV) exposure were tested for neutralizing serum antibodies against two serotype 6 (ST6) human RV (HRV) isolates from Italy, PA151 and PA169, and two ST6 bovine RV (BRV) isolates, NCDV and UK. Gene 4 was distinct in all four ST6 strains. Ninety-one, 56, 67, and 65 serum samples neutralized HRV PA151 (13%), HRV PA169 (8%)...
متن کاملHeterotypic protection and induction of a broad heterotypic neutralization response by rotavirus-like particles.
The recognition that rotaviruses are the major cause of life-threatening diarrheal disease and significant morbidity in young children has focused efforts on disease prevention and control of these viruses. Although the correlates of protection in children remain unclear, some studies indicate that serotype-specific antibody is important. Based on this premise, current live attenuated reassorta...

Two rotavirus vaccine strains representing VP7 serotypes 1 and 2 derived by reassortment between a rhesus rotavirus master strain, MMU18006, and either of two human rotavirus strains were administered simultaneously to infants and young children to assess potential interactions between strains. Children were observed in a day care setting for 10 days after vaccine administration for clinical sy...
