title: Survey of human rotavirus propagation as studied by electrophoresis of genomic RNA.
abstract: Rotavirus RNA isolated from three different environmental sources during the winter of 1981-1982 was analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Our results demonstrate the presence of novel RNA patterns, the coexistence of multiple electrophoretic patterns in rotavirus isolated from samples from a given ward, and that spread of a given electropherotype is limited.
