Virions associated with acute gastroenteritis in Vancouver, 1976
Abstract
Virions were identified by electron microscopic observation of unconcentrated extracts of feces obtained from 55 (33%) of 167 children aged 3 weeks to 5 years who were hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis at Children's Hospital, Vancouver between January and December 1976. Morphologic types included 30 rotavirus, 15 adenovirus, 5 astrovirus and 5 picornavirus-like particles.
