Abstract excerpt
Six-hundred and twenty-six stool specimens collected from children with diarrhea over a 12-month period were tested for rotavirus using a real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, a conventional nested PCR assay and by electron microscopy (EM). A fragment of 87 bp in a highly-conserved region of non-structural protein 3 (NSP3) in rotavirus genome was amplified by a single-step...
