If trypsin is incorporated in the tissue culture medium it is possible to carry out a sensitive immunofluorescence assay for the presence of human rotavirus. The enhanced effect of trypsin is negated by serum. It has also been established that naturally occurring enzymes in faeces enable some virus to penetrate tissue culture cells. The role of these naturally occurring enzymes in the pathogenesis of rotavirus infection is discussed.

Probiotics have shown efficacy in preventing and reducing infections caused by common viruses, including rotavirus, norovirus, hepatitis, human papillomavirus (HPV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and herpes simplex virus (HSV). A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm parallel-group study was conducted on 56 patients with moderate COVID-19 symptoms. Patients were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: standard treatment combined with UBBC-07, standard treatment combined with Unique IS-2, or standard treatment with a placebo.

Rotavirus A (RVA) is the primary enteric pathogen of humans and many other species. However, RVA interspecies transmission remains poorly understood. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive screening and genotyping analysis of RVA in 1706 wild animal samples collected from various regions within Yunnan Province, China.

In 2020, severe diarrhea occurred in four-month-old fattening pigs from nine farms in Shandong Province, China. Fecal samples were collected from diseased pigs and tested by PCR for the presence of mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), porcine rotavirus A (PoRVA), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine kobuvirus (PKV), and pseudorabies virus (PRV). The viral RNA of MRV and PEDV was detected in the fecal samples.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the prevalence of various viruses causing acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children under five years old in Yunnan, China.
- Over 610 stool samples were analyzed, revealing that rotavirus (RVA) was present in nearly 29% of the cases, with G8P[8] emerging as the dominant genotype in 2022.
- Norovirus was detected in about 12% of the samples, with GII.4 being the most common strain, while other viruses like sapovirus and human adenovirus had lower positivity rates.
- The results indicated higher AGE incidence in male children, particularly among those aged 12-23 months, with infection rates peaking in the early months of the year, highlighting
