Rotavirus is ________ ___________ in the environment
Very stable
Rotavirus is highly stable in the environment. It can survive for extended periods on surfaces such as countertops, toys, and diapers and can remain infectious even after prolonged exposure to low temperatures. This stability makes rotavirus easy to transmit through contaminated surfaces and objects, and it also contributes to its ability to cause outbreaks in settings such as daycare centers and nursing homes. Additionally, rotavirus can survive intact through stomach acid, which allows it to infect the small intestine and cause disease. Vaccination is an effective way to prevent rotavirus infection and decrease the burden of illness associated with this highly stable infectious agent.
