Abstract:
Rotaviruses from environmental samples have been genotyped by a seminested reverse transcription PCR assay with serotype-specific primers derived from variable regions of gene 9, which produce different characteristic segment sizes for serotypes 1 to 4. The method enabled the detection and identification of type 1, 2, and 3 group A rotaviruses in sewage.
