Abstract
The epidemiological profile of rotavirus infection in young calves and young children form the same rural environment in France was studied during autumn-winter 1983-1984. Viruses were isolated from calves on each farm and were identified by their electropherotype for 8 out of the 9 farms under study. Among 13 children regularly checked on 9 farms for 25 weeks, 7 were found to be rotavirus positive. Nevertheless, no transfer of virus between child and bovine was documented by the electropherotype migration. In the case of the calves, the predominance of the Ib IIa IIIe IVa electropherotype at 5 of the 9 farms is similar to the epidemiological situation observed among newborn in some maternity wards.Entities:
