Progress in interactions between rotavirus infection and innate immunity / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Rotavirus (RV) is one of the leading causes of acute gastroenteritis in infants and young animals worldwide. Rotavirus infection has obvious species specificity and mainly causes diarrhea in infants and young animals. The host innate responses suppress the infection and replication of rotavirus through activating multiple signaling pathways. Meanwhile, rotavirus also antagonizes the innate immune responses in various ways. This article reviewed the mechanisms of host innate immune responses to rotavirus infection and the antagonistic mechanism of rotavirus against host innate immunity with a view to providing reference for the development of therapeutic drugs and the prevention of rotavirus infection.
