Major strides have been made during the past decade in elucidating the etiological agents of diarrhea of infants and young children. Prior to the 1970s, not a single viral agent could be implicated as an important etiological agent of infantile diarrhea. Moreover, bacterial and parasitic agents known at that time failed to fill this etiologic void since they characteristically were associated with only approximately one-third the hospitalizations for diarrhea of infants and young children [1]. The discovery of the Norwalk virus in 1972 and the rotavirus in 1973 ushered in a new era in the delineation of etiologic agents of gastroenteritis [2, 3]. The 27-nm Norwalk virus was associated with outbreaks of a self-limited form of gastroenteritis affecting primarily adults and older children; these illnesses only rarely led to dehydration [4, 5]. However, the 70-nm rotavirus (which has a characteristic morphologic appearance resembling a "wheel" [rota = wheel]) was soon found in worldwide studies to be the long sought after, elusive, major etiologic agent of severe diarrhea of infants and young children [6, 7]. Both viruses were detected initially by electron microscopic techniques: the Norwalk virus by immune electron microscopy using an infectious stool preparation that was reacted with a patient's convalescent serum to enable viral recognition [2]; and the rotavirus by thin-section electron microscopy of duodenal tissue obtained from pediatric patients with diarrheal illness [3]. Soon, however, rotaviruses were detected readily by direct examination of stool preparations by negative-stain electron microscopy [8, 9]. Presently, many techniques are available for detection of rotaviruses, but the most popular is the
