[A research on rotaviral diarrhea outbreak in Guangxi Province].
OBJECTIVE
To analyze epidemiological characters of an outbreak of rotavirus diarrhea in Daxing County, Guangxi Province.


METHODS
Rotavirus-positive specimens were identified by ELISA kit. G/P typing assays were confirmed with multiplex seminested RT-PCR. Full-length VP7 genes of 4 positive specimens were amplified and analyzed.


RESULTS
30 cases of Rotavirus-positive were identified from 64 specimens. The attack rate was 46.9%, and G/P typing was G1P[8]. A change of VP7 amino acid residue is at positions 68.


CONCLUSIONS
G1P[8] rotavirus is the etiologic agents of this diarrhea outbreak. In addition, adults were included in this outbreak.
