The National Rotavirus Reference Centre together with collaborating laboratories Australia-wide has conducted rotavirus surveillance since June 1999. This report describes the serotypes of rotavirus strains responsible for the hospitalisation of children with acute gastroenteritis during the period 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006. Eight hundred and forty-eight faecal samples from across Australia were examined using monoclonal antibody immunoassays, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and polyacrylamide gel analysis. Serotype G1 was the dominant serotype nationally, representing 40.2 per cent of all strains, followed by serotype G4 (22.6%), serotype G9 (15.1%) and serotype G3 (14.7%). Genotype G12 strains were identified for the first time in Australia. As in previous years, there was substantial geographic variation in the prevalence of rotavirus serotypes.
自1999年6月以来，国家轮状病毒参考中心与澳大利亚各地的合作实验室一起开展了轮状病毒监测。本报告描述了2005年7月1日至2006年6月30日期间导致急性胃肠炎患儿住院的轮状病毒株的血清型。使用单克隆抗体免疫测定、逆转录-聚合酶链反应和聚丙烯酰胺凝胶分析对来自澳大利亚各地的848份粪便样本进行了检测。血清型G1是全国主要的血清型，占所有毒株的40.2%，其次是血清型G4（22.6%）、血清型G9（15.1%）和血清型G3（14.7%）。基因型G12毒株在澳大利亚首次被鉴定出来。与往年一样，轮状病毒血清型的流行率存在很大的地理差异。
