Professor Tales said of the project: We expect the outcome of this research study to increase our understanding of vascularrelated mild cognitive impairment and vascular dementia and to have a direct, positive influence on the development of reallife and clinically-relevant tests of brain function, such as those used for early diagnosis and for ...
After several infections with different strains of the virus, children acquire immunity to rotavirus. Babies and toddlers between 6-24 months of age are at greatest risk for developing severe disease from rotavirus infection. Adults sometimes become infected, but the resulting illness is usually mild.
Most cases of rotavirus occur in children ages 3 months to 35 months old. The primary mode of transmission of rotavirus is the passage of the virus in stool to the mouth of another child, known as a fecal-oral route of transmission. The virus can live for hours on hands and even longer on hard surfaces.n non-tropical climates like the U.S., rotavirus infections are more likely to occur in the colder winter months than in the summer. The incubation period for rotavirus disease is approximately 2 days. Primary symptoms include vomiting and watery diarrhea for 3 to 8 days. Fever and abdominal pain occur frequently.
