Porcine Rotavirus Closely Related to Novel Group of Human Rotaviruses
نویسندگان
چکیده
We determined nucleotide sequences and inferred amino acid sequences of viral protein (VP) 4, VP6, VP7, and nonstructural protein 4 genes of a porcine rotavirus strain (SKA-1) from Japan. The strain was closely related to a novel group of human rotavirus strains (B219 and J19).

Molecular characterization of novel G5 bovine rotavirus strains.
Group A rotaviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in young children as well as many domestic animals. The rotavirus genome is composed of 11 segments of double-stranded RNA and can undergo genetic reassortment during mixed infections, leading to progeny viruses with novel or atypical phenotypes. The aim of this study was to determine if the bovine group A rotavirus strains KJ44 and...
متن کاملDetection and characterization of group C rotaviruses in asymptomatic piglets in Ireland.
Group C rotaviruses are important human enteric pathogens that have also been detected in a variety of mammalian species, including pigs. Group C rotaviruses have been identified in piglets with diarrhea, but their ecology remains to be elucidated. By screening of 292 fecal samples collected from 4- to 5-week-old asymptomatic pigs from four herds in Ireland between 2005 and 2007, 13 (4.4%) samp...
متن کاملIsolation and serotyping of porcine rotaviruses and antigenic comparison with other rotaviruses.
Seven rotavirus strains were isolated in cell cultures from the intestinal contents of piglets with diarrhea. MA104 cells with pancreatin in the cell culture medium was the host system of choice for virus isolation and replication. A cell culture immunofluorescence test in which MA104 cells were used in microtiter plates was very effective for detecting and assaying rotaviruses. A plaque reduct...
متن کاملDetection of rare G3P[19] porcine rotavirus strains in Chiang Mai, Thailand, provides evidence for origin of the VP4 genes of Mc323 and Mc345 human rotaviruses.
Among 175 fecal specimens collected from diarrheic piglets during a surveillance of porcine rotavirus (PoRV) strains in Chiang Mai, Thailand, 39 (22.3%) were positive for group A rotaviruses. Of these, 33.3% (13 of 39) belonged to G3P[19], which was a rare P genotype seldom reported. Interestingly, their VP4 nucleotide sequences were most closely related to human P[19] strains (Mc323 and Mc345)...
متن کاملRotaviral Diarrhea in Pigs
Group A rotaviruses were first detected in pigs suffering from diarrhea in 1975. It is generally accepted that multiple rotavirus strains are present in most if not all conventional swine herds. Rotavirus infections are very prevalent and are commonly associated with diarrhea in suckling and weaned pigs. Early studies also demonstrated that porcine rotaviruses are physically and serologically s...
