A one-year study of rotavirus prevalence was carried out using electron microscopy in Gabon, equatorial Africa. One hundred fifty-six nonhospitalized diarrheic children up to 10 years of age and 115 age-matched controls were investigated together with diarrheic adults and children over 10 years of age. Rotaviruses were observed only in diarrheic children under 10 years of age (10.2%). Rotaviruses were more prevalent in the dry-season months (19.2% versus 1.3%, P less than .001). Rotaviruses were the most commonly found among all the viral, bacterial, and parasitic agents we detected, with the exception of the coronaviruslike particles, which are the subject of another paper [Sitbon, 1985].
在赤道非洲的加蓬,运用电子显微镜对轮状病毒流行情况进行了为期一年的研究。对156名10岁及以下未住院的腹泻儿童、115名年龄匹配的对照儿童以及腹泻成人和10岁以上儿童进行了调查。仅在10岁以下的腹泻儿童中观察到轮状病毒(10.2%)。轮状病毒在旱季月份更为普遍(19.2%对1.3%,P小于0.001)。在我们检测到的所有病毒、细菌和寄生虫病原体中,除了冠状病毒样颗粒(另一篇论文的主题[西邦,1985])外,轮状病毒是最常见的。
