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.
本文展示了一项关于与肠胃炎发病率相关的水体中轮状病毒流行情况的卫生病毒学调查结果。发现了轮状病毒感染流行过程的一些规律：涉及的婴儿比例高，疾病病例主要在一年中的寒冷时期出现，轮状病毒肠胃炎在急性肠道感染总发病率中占很大比例（23.8%）等。此外，对轮状病毒感染发病率动态数据与水体被轮状病毒污染数据的比较显示，这些数据之间存在很强的相关性。还讨论了利用这些信息评估流行病学情况的可能性。
