A primer pair (p289-p290) designed to detect both noroviruses and sapoviruses by reverse transcription-PCR (Jiang et al., J. Virol. Methods 83:145, 1999) cross-reacts with rotaviruses. The rotavirus amplicon corresponds to genome segment 1. Furthermore, primer pair p289-p290 detected rotaviruses as efficiently as rotavirus-specific primers directed to rotavirus gene 4.
