In a longitudinal survey of 11 broiler flocks, rotavirus excretion was detected by direct electron microscopic examination of faeces in 10. In most of these flocks, rotavirus excretion was first detected during the third week of life. In some flocks, infection with 2 antigenically distinct serogroups of rotavirus was demonstrated. In a more detailed survey of a 34,000 bird broiler crop, rotavirus excretion was detected intermittently from 9-50 days. Infection with 4 different RNA electropherotypes of rotavirus occurred in waves with each wave of infection lasting about 1 week. Analysis of representatives of the 4 different electropherotypes by cross-immunofluorescence indicated that each electropherotype represented an antigenically distinct serogroup. Two of these serogroups were represented by the previously characterised Ch 1 and 132 chicken rotavirus isolates. The other 2 serogroups have not been previously recognised.
在一项对11个肉鸡群的纵向调查中，通过对粪便进行直接电子显微镜检查，在10个鸡群中检测到了轮状病毒排泄。在这些鸡群中的大多数，轮状病毒排泄最早在出生后第三周被检测到。在一些鸡群中，证明感染了2个抗原性不同的轮状病毒血清群。在一项对34000只肉鸡的更详细调查中，从第9天到第50天间歇性地检测到轮状病毒排泄。感染4种不同RNA电泳型的轮状病毒呈波浪式发生，每一波感染持续约1周。通过交叉免疫荧光对4种不同电泳型的代表进行分析表明，每种电泳型代表一个抗原性不同的血清群。其中2个血清群由先前鉴定的Ch 1和132鸡轮状病毒分离株代表。另外2个血清群以前未被识别。
