Key result
Enzyme immunoassay serotyping of 1,183 rotavirus-positive specimens revealed serotype 1 as the most prevalent (48%), followed by serotypes 3 (15%), 2 (8%), and 4 (7%).

What is the distribution of human rotavirus serotypes in different populations?
Serotype 1 is the most common rotavirus serotype globally, indicating that vaccines in development must provide the greatest coverage against it.
Woods et al. (1992) conducted an observational in Rotavirus infection (n=1,183). Enzyme immunoassay serotyping was evaluated on Distribution of rotavirus serotypes. Enzyme immunoassay serotyping of 1,183 rotavirus-positive specimens revealed serotype 1 as the most prevalent (48%), followed by serotypes 3 (15%), 2 (8%), and 4 (7%).
