Electron microscopy and a commercial ELISA test for rotavirus antigen were used to diagnose rotavirus infection in diarrheic raccoons (Procyon lotor), striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes). Gross and histopathological changes in two raccoons and two red foxes were found to be very similar to those described previously in rotavirus mediated diarrhea in other animals. While an etiology for the diarrhea is not definitively established, it would appear to involve rotavirus alone or possibly in concert with enteropathogenic coliform bacteria, overfeeding of a commercial kitten milk replacer and the stresses of captivity.
利用电子显微镜和一种用于检测轮状病毒抗原的商业酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）试验，对腹泻的浣熊（北美浣熊）、条纹臭鼬和赤狐进行轮状病毒感染诊断。发现两只浣熊和两只赤狐的大体病变和组织病理学变化与先前在其他动物中轮状病毒介导的腹泻所描述的变化非常相似。虽然腹泻的病因尚未明确确定，但似乎单独涉及轮状病毒，或者可能与肠道致病性大肠菌、商业小猫代乳品喂食过量以及圈养应激共同作用有关。
