Electron microscopic examination of primate feces for rotaviruses.
Using electron microscopic procedures known to be capable of detecting rotaviruses, feces from both human and nonhuman primates were examined for the presence of these viruses. Fecal samples were taken from man and animals with and without diarrhea. Rotaviruses were not observed in these specimens.
