A serological survey was carried out in order to determine the prevalence of antirotavirus antibodies in Moroccan cattle under different management conditions. From the 493 serum samples examined, 325 (65.9%) were found positive, using a counter-immunoelectroosmophoresis technique. Animals of indigenous breed coming from farms with rapid turnover or large number of animals, or having frequent contacts with imported cattle, had a higher rate of seropositivity; however, positive sera were also found in cattle from small farms in remote areas, showing that rotavirus infection is ubiquitous in that country. No relationship was found between the prevalence of anti-rotavirus antibodies and the frequence of calf diarrhoea. The percentage of seropositive animals in a herd has to be considered as an epidemiological indicator.
