The subgroup, serotype and electropherotype diversity of human rotavirus strains was investigated in Al-Taif, Saudi Arabia. Out of 349 faecal samples collected from diarrhoeic children, 150 (43 percent) tested rotavirus positive by a group-A specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The majority (87 percent) of the infected children were below 2 years of age. Subgrouping and serotyping of rotaviruses with specific monoclonal antibodies showed that of the 150 rotavirus positive specimens, 17 percent belonged to subgroup I, 59 per cent belonged to subgroup II, and 24 percent were neither subgroup I nor subgroup II. The specimens were typed, as serotype 1 (43 percent), serotype 2 (5 percent), serotype 3 (11 percent), serotype 4 (10 percent) or mixed serotypes (3 percent). The remaining 41 (27 percent) specimens were untypeable. None of the serotypes showed association with a particular age group. An electrophoretic analysis of viral RNA revealed 11 distinct patterns (six long and five short). The majority, 78 percent were long patterns and 22 percent were short patterns. Analysis of the specimens for which subgroups, serotypes and electropherotypes were available indicated that a given RNA pattern does not correspond to a particular subgroup or serotype |
