title: Serotype variation of group A rotaviruses over nine winter epidemics in southeastern New England.
abstract: By the use of enzyme immunoassay and RNA electrophoresis, rotavirus serotyping was performed with stool specimens from 605 children. Serotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4 accounted for 63, 9, 9, and 19% of the cases, respectively, with considerable yearly variation. An average of three serotypes cocirculated each year.
