“…In contrast, a higher positivity rate was observed in children older than 36 months of age in Brasília city. This result shows a different pattern if compared to other studies conducted elsewhere (Silva et al 2001, Giordano et al 2004). This result should, however, be analyzed with caution owing to the small number of samples from that age group.…”

“…The genome presents three open reading frames: ORF1a, ORF1b, and ORF2, each encoding at the least one polyprotein. Different methodologies have been employed for the detection and characterization of these viruses including electron-and-immune electron microscopy, enzyme immunoassay, latex agglutination, viral isolation in cell culture, and molecular procedures such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) (Silva et al 2001, Komoriya et al 2003, Tai et al 2003, Méndez-Toss et al 2004). The RT-PCR has been widely utilized for both viral detection and genotyping using primers designed for each one of genomic regions (Noel et al 1995, Belliot et al 1997.…”

“…O rotavírus é o principal agente viral relacionado à diarreia aguda infantil 10 , no entanto outros vírus, como norovírus e astrovírus, são responsáveis por casos isolados de diarreia aguda 11 e por surtos 12 . Entre os protozoários, Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia e Entamoeba histolytica 13,14,15 são os mais comuns relacionados aos quadros diarreicos infantis.…”
