This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Rotavirus.

PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles)
The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine.
Other potential sources include: Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and CDC

10 or 9 species

According to the ICTV there is only 9 species of rotavirus : A-J (without E): https://talk.ictvonline.org/taxonomy/ or https://talk.ictvonline.org/files/master-species-lists/m/msl/9601

Does anyone know whether species E still applies? --Julius Senegal (talk) 09:31, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I never saw the reasons the ICTV gave for dropping E. Is it a mistake in their list perhaps. RVE is found in pigs, albeit rarely. Graham Beards (talk) 15:07, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rotavirus E history says it was abolished with the 2019 taxonomy release. According to the Word document, it was abolished because there are no sequence data or isolates of Rotavirus E. E may exist but officially there are 9 species. Velayinosu (talk) 00:57, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your answers. Hence this should be corrected, or clarified that RVE has not been isolated yet? --Julius Senegal (talk) 08:14, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the text to: "There are nine species of the genus, referred to as A, B, C, D, F, G, H, I and J. Rotavirus A, the most common species, causes more than 90% of rotavirus infections in humans. Rotavirus E, which is seen in pigs, has not been confirmed as a distinct species."

Types of Rotavirus

Hi,

I am thinking to explain more about the specific types of the Rotavirus. I made some edits as well, but were reverted back due to some formatting issues. Can I include the history of the types in their particular section or it goes in the history section of the main article. Any more suggestions that i need to keep in mind while providing details about specific types. I have data about the primary characteristics of these types and their detection techniques. Also, kindly let me know about the issues on my last edit user: Graham Beards. Sidhujupinder (talk) 22:07, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The information was already in the Epidemiology section. Your additions were not an improvement. There were spelling and grammatical errors and the citations you added were old and inconsistently formatted. Extensive descriptions of group B rotavirus (and group C rotaviruses, which you did not mention) is not justified. See WP:BALASP. If you have anything new to add, it would be best to discuss it here first. Graham Beards (talk) 08:45, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

rotavirus types

Should I put new information about the rotaviruses under the section of epidemiology or create another section for it ? Sidhujupinder (talk) 03:09, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What new information do you want to add? Graham Beards (talk) 10:27, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to add information about pathogenicity and history of origin of rotavirus species A-J separately. I saw species A and B has some information provided but the others are missing. Sidhujupinder (talk) 17:27, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
