Rotavirus particles survive tropical temperatures for more than 2 months.(Brief Article)
2003 FEB 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- "Typing and in vitro cultivation of rotavirus-positive human stool samples stored unintentionally at ambient tropical temperatures for 2 1/2 months showed that rotavirus is stable and may still be infectious in vitro," researchers in Norway report.
"This indicates that stool specimen collection for rotavirus studies can be performed in areas and settings where reliable cold storage is not available," said Thea K. Fischer and collaborators at the Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen and the University of Bergen. "The retained infectivity of rotavirus particles underscores the need for safe systems for disposal of feces, in particular in developing countries where rotavirus is a major cause of childhood mortality."
Fischer and colleagues published their study in ...
