The successful isolation and identification of rotavirus from newborn calves with diarrhoea is reported for the first time in Egypt. From 25 faecal samples taken from diarrhoeic calves, ten virus isolates were found to give cytopathogenic effects on bovine embryonic kidney cells. Three of the isolates were identified as rotavirus using fluorescent antibody staining, serum-neutralization, revealed the presence of rotavirus antibodies in 18 of 105 serum samples obtained from other calves slaughtered at Cairo abattoir.
埃及首次报道了从患腹泻的新生小牛中成功分离和鉴定出轮状病毒。从25份腹泻小牛的粪便样本中，发现10株病毒分离株对牛胚胎肾细胞产生细胞病变效应。其中3株分离株通过荧光抗体染色鉴定为轮状病毒，血清中和试验显示，从开罗屠宰场宰杀的其他小牛获得的105份血清样本中有18份存在轮状病毒抗体。
