Sl. Vonderfecht et al., DETECTION OF RAT, PORCINE, AND BOVINE GROUP-B ROTAVIRUS IN FECAL SPECIMENS BY SOLID-PHASE ENZYME-IMMUNOASSAY, Journal of clinical microbiology, 32(4), 1994, pp. 1107-1108
An enzyme immunoassay that uses easily regenerated reagents was develo
ped and evaluated for the ability to detect group B rotaviruses (GBR)
in fecal specimens. Homologous rat GBR and heterologous porcine and bo
vine GBR were detected by this immunoassay, although a human GBR isola
te was not. This immunoassay should prove useful in studies of GBR inf
ections of animals.
