“…Rotaviruses have been isolated from a wide variety of mammalian and avian species with enteritis and diarrhoea, and also from asymptomatic animals throughout the world (McNulty, 1987;Flewett & Woode, 1978;McNulty et al 1979;Fukusho, Shimizu & Ito, 1981;Hoshino et al 1982;Hoshino et al 1983).…”

“…similar morphology (Flewett, Bryden & Davies, 1973;McNulty, 1978) and clinical signs (Flewett & Woode, 1978), share a common group specific antigen (Woode et al 1976; Thouless et al 1977), cross protection (Gaul et al 1982) and inter-species transmissions (Tzipore & Makin, 1978;Dagenais et al 1981). However, despite these findings which indicate that not all rotaviruses are species-specific, there is no direct evidence of rotavirus infection between animal species and man as a zoonosis.…”

SUMMARYAvian rotaviruses were isolated from feral pigeon faeces treated with trypsin using roller tube cultures of mammalian cells. Two pigeon strains, designated as strains PO-8 and PO-13, produced a marked cytopathic effect (CPE), small intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies and high titres of infectious particles in infected MA-104 and MDBK cell lines without cell adaptation and roller drum apparatus. The pigeon rotaviruses shared a common group specific antigen with the Lincoln strain of bovine rotavirus by indirect immunofluorescence, but differed from both the Lincoln strain and the Wa strain of human rotavirus in neutralization tests.

“…Rotaviruses have been recognized as the main cause of acute gastroenteritis in young animals and in infants and young children (Flewett & Woode, 1978;McNulty, 1978). Several subgroups Greenberg et al 1983) and serotypes (Beards et al 1980;Wyatt et al 1982) have been identified by complement fixation tests (Thouless et al 1977;Zissis & Lambert, 1978), ELISA techniques (Yolken et al 1978;Thouless, Beards & Flewett, 1982) and neutralization assays (Beards et al 1980;Wyatt et al 1982).…”

SUMMARYThe molecular epidemiology of rotavirus infections in Glasgow and the west of Scotland during 1981/82 and 1982/83 was investigated by electron microscopy, ELISA testing and RNA migration pattern analysis. In 1981/82, rotaviruses of both the 'long' and the 'short 'electropherotype (in different variants) co-circulated from the onset throughout the winter peak of the outbreak. Approximately 80 o of the children were infected during the first year of life. No differences in incidence were found between sexes. In 1982/83 the isolated rotaviruses were almost exclusively of the 'long' electropherotype (in different variants) and 360 of the children were infected beyond the first year of life. Rotaviruses of the 'long' electropherotype serologically were of subgroup ii and serotype 1 and those of the 'short' electropherotype of subgroup i and serotype 2.

“…The second amplification was carried out for G typing using two sets of primers specific for human genotypes G1, G2, G3, G4 and G9 (3,11); and one set specific for porcine genotypes G5 and G11 and bovine genotypes G6, G8 and G10 (12). For P typing, bovine, porcine and human rotaviruses primers, specific for VP4 genotypes P [1], P [3], P [4], P [5], P [6], P [7], P [8], P [9], P [10] and P [11] were used (10,13,18).…”

Rotavirus was detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the faeces of a diarrheic dog. Virus particles with morphology typical of rotavirus were visualized by direct electron microscopy. This sample was subsequently tested for the four main human serotypes (G1-G4), by ELISA with monoclonal antibodies. G genotyping was attempted by RT-PCR using G1-G6 and G8-G11 primers but no positive results could be yielded. Also using RT-PCR it was possible to characterize this canine strain as belonging to P [3] genotype. This is the first canine rotavirus detected in Brazil.
