Epidemiology of group C rotavirus infection in Western New York women of childbearing age.
Umbilical cord serum samples (380), an average of 10 per month for 3 years (1990 to 1992), were tested by indirect immunofluorescence assay for group C rotavirus immunoglobulin G. Thirty percent were positive, suggesting that approximately one-third of women of childbearing age in western New York have experienced group C rotavirus infection.
