Six hundred and sixteen specimens were collected from black children hospitalised with acute gastroenteritis during the summer and autumn of 1982-1983 (October to May). Eighty-five children (13.8%) shed rotavirus and at least 40 (6.5%) shed adenovirus (Ad) type 40 or 41 belonging to subgroup F. The highest monthly prevalence of shedding subgroup F adenoviruses (10.1%) coincided with a peak in admissions in midsummer, whereas the highest monthly prevalence of shedding rotaviruses (41.9%) coincided with a peak in admissions in autumn. There were at least five genome types of rotavirus, at least three genome types of Ad40, and at least five genome types of Ad41 circulating in the Johannesburg-Soweto area during the study period. The high rate of rotavirus shedding in autumn could not be attributed to an upsurge in infections by any particular rotavirus strain.
1982年至1983年夏秋季节（10月至次年5月），从因急性肠胃炎住院的黑人儿童中采集了616份样本。85名儿童（13.8%）排出了轮状病毒，至少40名儿童（6.5%）排出了属于F亚组的40型或41型腺病毒（Ad）。排出F亚组腺病毒的最高月度流行率（10.1%）与仲夏时节的入院高峰相吻合，而排出轮状病毒的最高月度流行率（41.9%）与秋季的入院高峰相吻合。在研究期间，约翰内斯堡-索韦托地区至少有五种轮状病毒基因组类型、至少三种40型腺病毒基因组类型和至少五种41型腺病毒基因组类型在传播。秋季轮状病毒排出率高并非归因于任何特定轮状病毒株感染的激增。
