Population

1,382 diarrheal stool samples from 5 regions in Japan

Intervention

Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with serotype-specific primers (1 to 8)

Outcome

Incidence and serotype distribution of astrovirus infection

RT-PCR with serotype-specific primers is a useful approach for studying the epidemiology of astroviruses, which primarily infect children under 2 years old in Japan.
