“…In the population of animals studied the zoonotic transmission can be frequent, since the animals live in contact with humans and in precarious sanitary conditions. In Brazil, this genotype was described in animal and human populations in studies of Luchs et al [32]; Honma et al [67]; Araújo et al [68]; Mascarenhas et al [69] and Lorenzetti et al [70] such studies corroborate the importance of continuing to monitor genotypes to verify if uncommon strains or new strains are emerging and can infect animal populations or inter-species transmissions.…”

Rotavirus A in wild and domestic animals from areas with environmental degradation in the Brazilian Amazon

et al. 2018

Acute gastroenteritis is one of the main causes of mortality in humans and young animals. Domestic and mainly wild animals such as bats, small rodents and birds are highly diversified animals in relation to their habitats and ecological niches and are widely distributed geographically in environments of forest fragmentation in some areas of the Amazon, being considered important sources for viruses that affect humans and other animals. Due to the anthropical activities, these animals changed their natural habitat and adapted to urbanized environments, thus representing risks to human and animal health. Although the knowledge of the global diversity of enteric viruses is scarce, there are reports demonstrating the detection of rotavirus in domestic animals and animals of productive systems, such as bovines and pigs. The present study investigated the prevalence of Rotavirus A in 648 fecal samples of different animal species from the northeastern mesoregion of the state of Pará, Brazil, which is characterized as an urbanized area with forest fragments. The fecal specimens were collected from October 2014 to April 2016 and subjected to a Qualitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR), using the NSP3 gene as a target. It was observed that 27.5% (178/648) of the samples presented positive results for RVA, with 178 samples distributed in birds (23.6%), canines (21.35%), chiropterans (17.98%), bovines (14.6%), horses (8.43%), small rodents (6.74%), pigs (3.93%) and felines (3.37%), demonstrating the circulation of RVA in domestic animals and suggesting that such proximity could cause transmissions between different species and the occurrence of rearrangements in the genome of RVA as already described in the literature, associated to the traces of environmental degradation in the studied areas.

“…Although the results of RVA have already been described globally [12,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], in Brazil, the occurrence, diversity and role of rotavirus in these animals are still poorly studied, considering the large number of present species [4,[31][32][33][34].…”

“…The wide host breadth of RVA strains indicated the potential of RVAs for interspecies transmission. Only one G10 strain was identified in the study, this strain is uncommon in human (Do et al, ; Luchs & Timenetsky Mdo, ) but are frequently found in animals, particularly in cattle, pigs and lambs (Ennima et al, ; Komoto et al, ; Madadgar, Nazaktabar, Keivanfar, Zahraei Salehi, & Lotfollah Zadeh, ; Mohamed, Mansour, El‐Araby, Mor, & Goyal, ; Rajendran & Kang, ). G10P[15] is an unusual combination but has previously been reported in a calf in India (Rajendran & Kang, ).…”

Group A rotavirus (RVA) is an important cause of diarrhoea in people, especially children, and animals globally. Due to the segmented nature of the RVA genome, animal RVA strains have the potential to adapt to the human host through reassortment with other co‐infecting human viruses. Macaques share food and habitat with people, resulting in close interaction between these two species. This study aimed to detect and characterize RVA in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in Bangladesh. Faecal samples (N = 454) were collected from apparently healthy rhesus macaques from nine different sites in Bangladesh between February and March 2013. The samples were tested by one‐step, real‐time, reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Four percent of samples (n = 20; 95% CI 2.7%–6.7%) were positive for RVA. RVA positive samples were further characterized by nucleotide sequence analysis of two structural protein gene fragments, VP4 (P genotype) and VP7 (G genotype). G3, G10, P[3] and P[15] genotypes were identified and were associated as G3P[3], G3P[15] and G10P[15]. The phylogenetic relationship between macaque RVA strains from this study and previously reported human strains indicates possible transmission between humans and macaques in Bangladesh. To our knowledge, this is the first report of detection and characterization of rotaviruses in rhesus macaques in Bangladesh. These data will not only aid in identifying viral sharing between macaques, human and other animals, but will also improve the development of mitigation measures for the prevention of future rotavirus outbreaks.

Резюме. Встановлено, що ротавірусна інфекція займає велику частку серед інфекційних гастроентеритів у дітей раннього віку з підвищенням захворюваності в зимово-весняний період. Вивчені основні клініко-діагностичні характеристики ротавірусного гастроентериту. Серед клінічних проявів у дітей переважали диспептичні прояви, симптоми інтоксикації та дегідратації. Було встановлено, що жоден із госпіталізованих пацієнтів не отримував специфічної профілактики даної інфекції, тоді як найбільш ефективним і безпечним методом профілактики є вакцинація. Саме тому мають бути розглянуті шляхи впровадження вакцинації проти ротавірусної інфекції в Україні.
