| Abstract |
Rotaviruses are the major cause of infantile gastroenteritis world-wide. Much antigenic diversity exist amongst them. This has important implications to diagnosis, epidemiology and vaccination strategies. The nature of this diversity is now well understood. This review outlines and discussed our current knowledge of the subject from a historical perspective. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 January 2024.
All research outputs
#8,534,976
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Epidemiology
#903
of 1,801 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,612
of 12,255 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Epidemiology
#4
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,801 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 39.1. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 12,255 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
