Identification of rotaviruses of different origins by the plaque-reduction test.
The plaque assay for the simian rotavirus SA11 was shown to be applicable to the economically important calf and porcine rotaviruses. In addition, neutralization of viral infectivity with specific antiserum before assay (plaque-reduction test) was found to be a useful test to identify the species of origin of rotaviruses.
