I have just been searching for the evidence .. well, for the vaccine
then ... ok, what about just the virus? ..
Nope - all I can find is some very erudite papers on rotavirus protein
effects in rats.
I did find out that much of the diarrhoeal effects are caused by a
toxin-like effect rather than than infection directly.
Also that rotavirus vaccination in mice was first demonstrated back in
1996.
Also that parenteral/oral/mucosal vaccinations have all been tried in
rabbits.
