Thirty-three of 50 noncultivable human rotavirus strains from a variety of locations were successfully rescued by gene reassortment. The serotype of each of the 33 strains was investigated by a qualitative cytopathic effect neutralization assay. Nineteen strains resembled the previously characterized human rotavirus serotype Wa, whereas three strains were serologically related to the DS-1 strain. Eleven strains appeared to be serotypically distinct from the Wa and DS-1 strains and thus apparently represent one or more new human rotavirus serotypes.
