Abstract

|
Fecal specimens from acute gastroenteritis in Seoul from 2009 to 2010 were collected and then tested for the presence of Group A Rotavirus by ELISA. Among a total of 1,916 samples investigated, 354 samples (18.4%) were positive. The predominant genotypes of positive samples were confirmed as P6G[4] (35%), P8G[3] (28%), P8G[1] (24%), P4G[2] (10%), P8G[9] (3%), respectively. Among a total of 70 ground water samples investigated, 2 samples (2.8%) were positive. The genotypes of positive samples were confirmed as P8G[3] (100%). By this molecular investigation, genotypic distribution associated with rotavirus will be used for control and prevention of rotavirus related diseases.
