Double Stranded RNA Viruses


Rotavirus
This here, is not a very common virus. It is one of the causes of acute gastroenteritis, which is an inflammation of the stomach and/or small intestine. Gastroenteritis is usually not fatal, however in young children, the symptoms like diarrhea can be very severe.

This virus is transmitter via the fecal oral route and is not airborne. Therefore as long as the food you eat is clean and you are clean, you should not get infected by this virus.
