چکیده
The study was made to find out the etiological agent involved in piglet diarrhoea during 20072009 in and around Bareilly. Group A rotavirus (GARV) was found as the main agent using various methods applied to intestinal and fecal samples. Out of 199 necropsied intestinal samples, none was positive in agarose gel electrophoresis, 5 (2.51%) were positive in double antibody sandwich ELISA (DAS-ELISA), 5 (2.51%) in RT-PCR and 18 (9.04%) in real-time RT PCR. Out of 96 fecal samples, 8 (8.33%) were positive in agarose gel electrophoresis, 11 (11.45%) in DAS-ELISA, 16 (16.66%) in RTPCR and 23 (23.95%) were found positive in real-time RT PCR. Thus, it was found that real-time RT PCR, RT-PCR, ELISA and agarose gel electrophoresis have a descending order of sensitivity for detection of rotavirus as has already been reported.

Detection of rat, porcine, and bovine group B rotavirus in fecal specimens by solid-phase enzyme immunoassay.
An enzyme immunoassay that uses easily regenerated reagents was developed and evaluated for the ability to detect group B rotaviruses (GBR) in fecal specimens. Homologous rat GBR and heterologous porcine and bovine GBR were detected by this immunoassay, although a human GBR isolate was not. This immunoassay should prove useful in studies of GBR infections of animals.

متن کاملReverse Transcription-pcr for Detection of Porcine Diarrhea Associated Group a Rotavirus in Field Samples from Porcines Farmed in North-eastern Romania
Group A rotaviruses (GARVs) cause acute diarrhea and malabsorption in new-born and young piglets, resulting in high mortality and morbidity. Evidence of this infection has been reported in various European countries. However, there is little evidence of porcine GARV infections in Romania. The aim of this study was the detection of the GARV in an outbreak of diarrhea in piglets and sows farmed i...

متن کاملComparison of Enzyme Immunoassay, Immunochromatography, and RNA-Polyacrylamide-Gel Electrophoresis for Diagnosis of Rotavirus Infection in Children with Acute Gastroenteritis
Human rotavirus is a major etiologic agent for infantile diarrhea worldwide. It is responsible for up to 3.3 million deaths per year in children in developing countries. Various rapid and sensitive techniques have been developed to readily diagnose rotavirus gastroenteritis. In the present study, we compared the sensitivity and specificity of immunochromatography and RNA-polyacrylamide-gel elec...
