Only 2 out of 71 German patients infected with rotavirus (3%) and 8 out of 147 German control patients (5%) showed serum antibody to the new serotype 8 rotavirus. Such antibody was detected in the sera of 232 of 870 Ecuadorian children (27%). Twelve Ecuadorian sera showed neutralizing activity only against serotype 8 and not to the other serotypes (1-4) tested, indicating that human serotype 8 rotavirus circulates in South America.
在71名感染轮状病毒的德国患者中，只有2人（3%），147名德国对照患者中有8人（5%）显示出针对新型8型轮状病毒的血清抗体。在870名厄瓜多尔儿童的232份血清中检测到了这种抗体（27%）。12份厄瓜多尔血清仅对8型血清型显示出中和活性，而对其他测试的血清型（1 - 4型）没有中和活性，这表明人类8型轮状病毒在南美洲传播。
