ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze epidemiological characters of an outbreak of rotavirus diarrhea in Daxing County, Guangxi Province.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Rotavirus-positive specimens were identified by ELISA kit. G/P typing assays were confirmed with multiplex seminested RT-PCR. Full-length VP7 genes of 4 positive specimens were amplified and analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>30 cases of Rotavirus-positive were identified from 64 specimens. The attack rate was 46.9%, and G/P typing was G1P[8]. A change of VP7 amino acid residue is at positions 68.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>G1P[8] rotavirus is the etiologic agents of this diarrhea outbreak. In addition, adults were included in this outbreak.</p>
