Stem Cell-Derived Human Intestinal Organoids as an Infection Model for Rotaviruses

TL;DR: Induced human intestinal organoids are a promising new model for generating intestine-like tissue and the evidence that both laboratory and clinical rotavirus isolates can replicate in iHIOs suggests that this model would be useful not only for studies of rotaviruses but also potentially of other infectious agents.

Protective Effect of Natural Rotavirus Infection in an Indian Birth Cohort

TL;DR: Early infection and frequent reinfection in a locale with high viral diversity resulted in lower protection than has been reported elsewhere, providing a possible explanation why rotavirus vaccines have had lower-than-expected efficacy in Asia and Africa.

Rapid and simple method for purification of nucleic acids.

TL;DR: A simple, rapid, and reliable protocol for the small-scale purification of DNA and RNA from, e.g., human serum and urine, based on the lysing and nuclease-inactivating properties of guanidinium thiocyanate together with the nucleic acid-binding properties of silica particles or diatoms in the presence of this agent.

Global Illness and Deaths Caused by Rotavirus Disease in Children

TL;DR: The tremendous incidence of rotavirus disease underscores the urgent need for interventions, such as vaccines, to prevent childhood deaths in developing nations.

Polymerase chain reaction amplification and typing of rotavirus nucleic acid from stool specimens.

TL;DR: A PCR typing method was devised in which each human serotype virus produced a characteristic segment size, readily identifiable in agarose gels, which provided a rapid and efficient means of obtaining large quantities of cDNA suitable for sequencing, cloning, and other genetic studies, precluding the need for cell culture and virus purification.

Identification of group A rotavirus gene 4 types by polymerase chain reaction.

TL;DR: The results suggest that gene 4 typing will be useful in providing more a complete characterization of HRV strains of epidemiologic or vaccine-related interest.

Characterization of rotavirus strains from newborns in New Delhi, India.

TL;DR: Between 1986 and 1993, 72% of rotavirus strains isolated from newborns at five hospitals in New Delhi, India, had long electropherotypes, subgroup II VP6 antigens, and G and P genotypes identical to those of prototype strain 116E.
