Abstract

Only 2 out of 71 German patients infected with rotavirus (3%) and 8 out of 147 German control patients (5%) showed serum antibody to the new serotype 8 rotavirus. Such antibody was detected in the sera of 232 of 870 Ecuadorian children (27%). Twelve Ecuadorian sera showed neutralizing activity only against serotype 8 and not to the other serotypes (1-4) tested, indicating that human serotype 8 rotavirus circulates in South America.
