dsRNA Rotavirus Segmented dsRNA virus. The segmented RNS allows for genetic reassortment and is utilized in vaccine formation. It is transmitted by fecal-oral route where its double-layered capsid resists digestion by stomach acid. Primary site of infection is duodenum and proximal jejunum where villi are destroyed, leading to decreased absorptive surface. It is one of […]
