The epidemiology of rotavirus gastroenteritis was investigated for two consecutive seasons (1987-1988 and 1988-1989) in seven locales in the continental USA. The 281 representative fecal samples obtained from children with diarrhea were electropherotyped and serotyped by an enzyme immunoassay with serotype-specific monoclonal antibodies and a new amplification typing technique (polymerase chain reaction typing). Serotype 1 was predominant in both years, particularly in the North and East; serotype 3 was second in frequency and found most often in the South; serotype 2 was detected only occasionally; serotypes 4, 8, and 9 were never found. Rotavirus strains were grouped into five major electropherotypes, each corresponded to a single serotype, and the relative migration of the gene segments 7-9 could be used to distinguish serotype 1 from serotype 3. The amplification typing technique proved to be of great value in typing the 17% of rotavirus-positive specimens untypable by the serologic technique.
