Rotavirus


Hi
My name is Rotavirus

I'm from the Reoviridae family.


I am the most common cause of gastroenteritis in kids.

I love children under 4 four year old.

I am biggest in the colder seasons.

I cause diarrhoea.

I also give the kids fever, nausea and vomiting.

I'm very common, but don't let that fool you.

My diarrhoea can be severe.

I can kill if I'm not looked after.
