dc.descriptionRotavirus causes a sporadic, seasonal, often severe gastroenteritis of infants and young children, characterized by vomiting, fever and watery diarrhoea. It is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in children worldwide and a frequent cause of diarrhoea associated deaths in developing countries1. The World Health Organisation estimates that every child will be infected by rotavirus by the age of five. In developed countries, mortality due to rotavirus is low; however, the morbidity and economic costs associated with infection are significant2.en_US
