A Human Atypical Rotavirus Found in an Ecuador Infant with Diarrhea. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1985, 146 (4), 481-482 - One strain of atypical rotavirus, morphologically indistinguishable from known rotaviruses but lacking the common group antigen of typical rotavirus detectable by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), was isolated from one of 152 Ecuadorian infants with acute rotavirus gastroenteritis. The genome analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoesis revealed a unique RNA pattern clearly d istinct from that of typical rotaviruses
