Rotavirus is a highly contagious, double-stranded RNA virus that is the leading cause of severe gastroenteritis in infants and young children worldwide. It belongs to the Reoviridae family and is classified into different serotypes based on the antigenic properties of its outer protein coat. Rotavirus spreads primarily through the fecal-oral route, either by direct contact with an infected person or by consuming contaminated food or water. The virus replicates in the small intestine, leading to the destruction of the intestinal epithelial cells, which results in diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and dehydration. Rotavirus infections are particularly dangerous in developing countries with limited access to proper sanitation and healthcare, where they contribute significantly to childhood morbidity and mortality. Vaccination against rotavirus has shown to be highly effective in reducing severe rotavirus infections and associated hospitalizations.
