Should I put new information about the rotaviruses under the section of epidemiology or create another section for it ? Sidhujupinder ( talk) 03:09, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
I plan to add information about pathogenicity and history of origin of rotavirus species A-J separately. I saw species A and B has some information provided but the others are missing. Sidhujupinder ( talk) 17:27, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
To answer the question about my edit (sorry about not seeing it earlier): those URLs are redundant because the DOI already conveys the same information (where to locate the work in the publisher's website) and because the template already takes care of linkifying the title.
Also, at least [1] looks broken here (bad HTTPS certificate); the existing link doi:10.1093/ije/dyn260 reaches the intended destination which is, I presume, [2]. Nemo 14:44, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
This is a primary study which we avoid in medical articles (see WP:MEDRS).

link)The statement is already fully supported by the Suzuki (2019) review and another citation is redundant. Graham Beards ( talk) 07:38, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
According to NCBI taxonomy and also the Matthijnssens paper ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2556306/) there are several substrains of SA11, fortunately with similar antigenic signature. SCIdude ( talk) 09:22, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
I have reverted a recent edit. The editor gave this summary: "Source claiming that almost all children are infected with rotavirus by the age of five did not have any claims for that. The only reference to a population <5 years of age in the article claims, "rotavirus causes 440,000 annual deaths in children <5 years of age worldwide."
But the citation given says:
"The disease is ubiquitous, affecting nearly all children by the age of 5 years." Graham Beards ( talk) 08:37, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
