轮状病毒阳性的人粪便样本在热带环境温度下意外储存2个半月后的分型和体外培养表明，轮状病毒是稳定的，在体外可能仍然具有感染性。这表明轮状病毒研究的粪便标本采集可以在没有可靠冷藏的地区和环境中进行。轮状病毒颗粒保留的传染性强调了对粪便处理安全系统的需要，特别是在轮状病毒是儿童死亡主要原因的发展中国家。
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. This indicates that stool specimen collection for rotavirus studies can be performed in areas and settings where reliable cold storage is not available. 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.
