Abstract:Background
Rotavirus C (RVC) is a causative agent of gastroenteritis in suckling neonatal piglets. The increased prevalence of RVC infection in pig populations, and the higher genetic diversity of porcine RVC strains influence the productivity in the pig industry. Despite the clinical importance, the distribution and prevalence of RVC infection in pigs in most African countries remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of RVC infection in pigs in Zambia.
