ROTAVIRUS”
ď‚„Primary mode of rotavirus transmission is fecal to oral
ď‚„Highly communicable and transmissible disease
ď‚„Close person to person contact and environmental
surfaces are common vectors of transmission
ď‚„Incubation period is 1-3 days
ď‚„Large quantities of virus are shed in stool from just prior
to onset of symptoms until about 10 days after onset
ď‚„Amount of virus shed in stool [10-100 billion virion/gram
of stool]infection
ď‚„Amount of ingested virus required to cause infection as
few as 10 infective virions](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/rotavirus-141026064221-conversion-gate01/75/Rotavirus-3-2048.jpg)
![• The Rotavirus genome consist of 11 double stranded

• Group A which has multiple strains cause majority of
childhood infections
• Vaccine candidates are designed to protect against
group A Rotaviruses
• The G type and P type define the serotype
• They are critical to a vaccine development because
they are the vaccine for stimulating a protective
immune response](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/rotavirus-141026064221-conversion-gate01/75/Rotavirus-5-2048.jpg)
![“ SEROTYPES”
ď‚„Serotypes are described as variations within species of
bacteria or viruses or among immune cells of different
individuals
G1P[8] is the most common serotype worldwide and
accounts for over two thirds of rotavirus infections
worldwide
Infections with G1,G2,G3,G4 AND G9 together
comprise almost 95% of rotavirus serotype observed
Because the two gene segments that encode these
protein can segregate independently, A typing system
which consist of both G and P type is used i.e.
G1P[8],G2P[4],G3P[8],G4P[8],G9P[8] and G9P[6]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/rotavirus-141026064221-conversion-gate01/75/Rotavirus-6-2048.jpg)

INTRODUCTION ď‚„Rotaviruses arethe major cause of diarrheal illness in human infants in the world ď‚„Adults also get infected because of rotavirus ď‚„Young animals like calves and piglets are also infected ď‚„Rotavirus infection spread easily and outbreaks usually occur in the winter and early spring between about November and April ď‚„Rotavirus infections often spread in settings where many children's are together, such as daycare centers

- 8. VIRAL REPLICATION 4.Third layer is disrupted 5. By remaining in the core, the viral RNA evades innate host immune responses called RNA interference that are triggered by the presence of double-stranded RNA 6. Viroplasm is formed around the cell nucleus as early as two hours after virus infection, and consists of viral factories thought to be made by two viral nonstructural proteins: NSP5 and NSP2

WHY ROTAVIRUS INFECTIONCAUSES DIARRHEA ď‚„Infection of villus epithelial cells causes cell destruction, decreased absorption of salt and water and decreased dissachridase activity leading to osmotic load in the gut lumen ď‚„ The osmotic load in the gut and increased fluid secretion leads to diarrhea and without fluid replacement it will ultimately lead to dehydration and acidosis ď‚„ Rotavirus induced gastroenteritis in children with immunodeficiency may cause persistent infections lasting weeks or months
- 11. DIAGNOSIS OF ROTAVIRUSINFECTION Diagnosis of infection with Rotavirus follows diagnosis of gastroenteritis of severe diarrhea Most children's are admitted to hospital with gastroenteritis are tested for Rotavirus A Specific diagnosis of infection with rotavirus A is made by finding the virus in child’s stool by enzyme immunoassay Children with immunodeficiency disorders may be treated with specific rotavirus immunoglobulin preparation
- 12. DIAGNOSIS OF ROTAVIRUS Laboratory diagnosis Electron microscopy is used in the detection of Virus in the stools which helps in early detection Of disease OTHER DIAGNOSIS METHOD INCLUDE • ELISA RAPID ANTIGEN DETECTION BY ELISA OF ROTAVIRUS IN STOOL SAMPLES • GENOTYPING
- 13. TREATMENT FOR ROTAVIRUSDIARRHEA Therapy for rotavirus induced diarrhea involves replacement of fluid and electrolyte loss during infection ORAL REHYDRATION THERAPY is recommended in children with mild or moderate dehydration Fruit juices and soft drinks are not recommended due to there high glucose content low sodium content and high osmolarity  Antibiotics, antisecretory drugs, antimotility drugs, absorbents and antiemetic’s Do not clear acute infection but it prevents reinfection and reduce fluid losses during rotavirus induced gastroenteritis and hence do not play role in treatment

INDIA UNVEILS FIRSTINDIGENOUS ROTAVIRUS VACCINE ď‚„Rotavirus responsible for approximately 4,53,000 child deaths due to diarrhea globally each year ď‚„The Phase-III clinical trial of low cost Indian-made rotavirus vaccine Rotavac has demonstrated strong efficacy and excellent safety profile and if approved by the Drugs Controller General of India, it would be available at Rs. 54 per dose. ď‚„Clinical study has demonstrated for the first time that Rotavac is efficacious in preventing severe rotavirus diarrhea in low-resource settings in India, and developing countries in Asia and Africa. Strain diversity, too, has not apparently affected its efficacy.
- 18. Rotavirus is responsiblefor approximately 4,53,000 child deaths due to diarrhea globally each year. It is particularly threatening in India where — according to a recent study — around 1,00,000 children die each year from severe diarrhea and dehydration caused by rotavirus. India accounts for 22 per cent of the estimated global deaths from diarrhea-causing rotavirus. Rotavac is an oral vaccine and is administered to infants in a three-dose course at the ages of 6, 10 and 14 weeks. It is given alongside routine immunizations' in the Universal Immunization Programed (UIP) vaccines recommended at these ages.
- 19. The randomized, double-blind,placebo-controlled phase-III clinical trial enrolled 6,799 infants in India (aged six to seven weeks at the time of enrolment) at three sites — the Centre for Health Research and Development, Society for Applied Sciences, in New Delhi; Shirdi Sai Baba Rural Hospital, KEM Hospital Research Centre in Vadu; and Christian Medical College in Vellore. Infants received Rotavac and the UIP vaccines, including the oral polio vaccine (OPV). Result showed that infants receiving OPV at the same time as Rotavac generated comparable immune responses to all three polio serotypes as the infants receiving OPV without Rotavac, supporting the concurrent administration of OPV and Rotavac.

VACCINATING KIDS AGAINSTROTAVIRUS MAY REDUCE RISK OF SEIZURES ď‚„The researchers found that children who were fully vaccinated against rotavirus had an approximately 20 percent reduced risk of seizure-related hospitalizations and emergency department visits during the year following vaccination, compared to unvaccinated children ď‚„Latest study estimated that rotavirus vaccination could potentially save more than $7 million in U.S. health care costs each year by preventing approximately 1,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 emergency room visits for seizures among young children. "Caring for children who have seizures can be expensive and emotionally taxing for families," Dr. Payne said. "Seizures sometimes lead to painful procedures, medication regimens, trips to the emergency room, or
