title: [The results of a study of the contamination of bodies of water by rotaviruses against a background of gastroenteritis morbidity].
abstract: The results of a sanitary virological survey of the prevalence of rotaviruses in water objects in relation to gastroenteritis incidence are presented. Some regularities of the epidemic process of rotavirus infection were discovered: a high portion of infants involved, occurrence of cases of the disease predominantly in the cold periods of the year, a significant portion (23.8%) of rotavirus gastroenteritis in the total incidence of acute intestinal infections, etc. Besides, comparison of the data on the dynamics of rotavirus infection incidence and on the contamination of water objects with rotaviruses revealed a strong correlation between these data. The possibility of using this information for the evaluation of the epidemiological situation is discussed.
