People with blood group prone to diarrhea?

Scientists have found that people of type A are more likely to get viral infections that cause diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration.

Some rotavirus strains (viruses that cause inflammation of the stomach and intestines) find their way to the cells of the stomach - intestines by identifying antibodies that are related to blood type A. This is the result of research by scientists. at Baylor College of Medicine published in Nature.

Rotavirus is the leading cause of condition
Severe dehydration and diarrhea in newborns.

The structure of the main part of the P [14] virus provides a clue as to how this virus attacks cells in the human body.

In rotavirus species that attack animals, viral spines stick to cells through a polysaccharide (one of many sugars involved in complex branched structures) with a terminal molecule of sialic acid. The same mechanism does not appear to exist in other viral strains. And scientists believe that human rotavirus strains are attached to polysaccharides with an internal sialic acid molecule, but they do not know what mechanism this occurs.

The only type of polysaccharide that interacts with the virus tip (called VP8 *) is the antigen of the blood type A.

Rotavirus is a common intestinal pathogen, the leading cause of severe dehydration and diarrhea in babies around the world. An estimated 500,000 people die from rotavirus each year.
