Abstract

Rotaviruses have proven to be major causes of pediatric diarrheal disease morbidity and mortality worldwide. The past several years have yielded substantial new insights into these viruses, their epidemiology, and the mechanisms of host resistance to them. These insights have in turn resulted in development of several candidate rotavirus vaccine strains, bringing closer the possibility of effective protection of young children from rotavirus disease.
