Abstract
Rotaviruses from environmental samples have been genotyped by a semine sted reverse transcription PCR assay with serotype-specific primers de rived from variable regions of gene 9, which produce different charact eristic segment sizes for serotypes 1 to 4. The method enabled the det ection and identification of type 1, 2, and 3 group A rotaviruses in s ewage.
