Abstract: The disclosure provides immunogenic compositions comprising human picornavirus peptides derived from structural proteins of the virus, constructs comprising the peptides, the peptides themselves and their use in the prevention of picornavirus infection and disease. Particular peptides from VP4 and VP1 are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides an attenuated rotavirus population comprising a single variant or substantially a single variant which is defined by a nucleotide sequence encoding at least one of the major viral proteins designated as VP4 and VP7. The invention particularly provides a rotavirus population designated as P43. The invention further provides a novel formulation for a rotavirus vaccine which is in the form of a quick dissolving tablet for immediate dissolution when placed on the tongue.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of inducing an immune response against rotavirus infection from one rotavirus serotype, the method comprising administering to a subject a composition comprising an attenuated rotavirus vaccine from a different serotype. There is in particular provided a method of inducing an immune response against rotavirus infection from a non-G1 serotype, the method comprising administering to a subject a composition comprising an attenuated rotavirus vaccine from a G1 serotype.

Abstract: A process for identification of type-specific polynucleotide sequences in a sample, the process comprising the steps of (1) contacting polynucleotides from the sample, or derived from the sample, with a plurality of type-specific probes in the context of a solid support, and detection of any type-specific hybridisation; and (2) contacting polynucleotides in the sample, or derived from the sample, with type-specific primers for those types capable of being detected by the hybridisation step in step 1, but not so detected, in a type-specific amplification reaction.
