Although the widespread occurrence of porcine group C rotaviruses (GCRV) is assumed, precise prevalence remains largely unknown because of the absence of reliable, specific, and rapid diagnostic methods. To detect and quantify porcine GCRV, the authors evaluated and optimized SYBR Green and TaqMan real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays and applied them to 108 piglet fecal samples. Using serially diluted standard RNA transcripts of porcine GCRV VP6 gene, both SYBR Green and TaqMan real-time RT-PCR assays detected as few as 1 x 10(1) genome copies/microl (correlation coefficiency >0.99), whereas conventional RT-PCR detected 1.0 x 10(3) copies/microl. In addition, the conventional assay detected porcine GCRV in 24% (26/108) of fecal samples, whereas the detection rates of both SYBR Green and TaqMan assays were 72% (78 of 108) and 64% (70 of 108), respectively. The current study indicated that both real-time RT-PCR assays were reliable, specific, and rapid methods for the detection of porcine GCRV in porcine fecal samples.

Viral infections are known as one of the major factors causing death. Ginseng is a medicinal plant that demonstrated a wide range of antiviral potential, and saponins are the major bioactive ingredients in the genus with vast therapeutic potential. Studies focusing on the antiviral activity of the genus plant-derived agents (extracts and saponins) and their mechanisms were identified and summarized, including contributions mainly from January 2016 until January 2022.

Enteric viral infections in pigs may cause diarrhea resulting in ill-thrift and substantial economic losses. This study reports the enteric infections with porcine astrovirus type 4 (PAstV4), porcine group A rotavirus (GARV), porcine group C rotavirus (GCRV), porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and porcine kobuvirus (PKoV) in 419 pigs, comprising both healthy and diarrheic animals, from 49 farms in five European countries (Austria, Germany, Hungary, Spain and Sweden). Real-time RT-PCR assays were developed to test fecal samples and to compare the prevalence and viral load in relation to health status, farms of origin and age groups.

Objective: To study the epdimiology characteristics and the diversity of VP6 gene of GCRV in Lulong, and to provide the basis for GCRV in-depth research.
Methods: 793 stool specimens from porcine with diarrhea or not from Lulong in 2007 and 2008. GCRV was detected by nested multiple reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction (nested RT-PCR) , and analyzed the identity and conducted phylogenetic tree by the seqences.

Group C rotavirus (GCRV) is distributed worldwide as an enteric pathogen in humans and animals. However, to date, whole-genome sequences are available only for a human strain (Bristol) and a porcine strain (Cowden). To investigate the genetic diversity of human GCRVs, nearly full-length sequences of all 11 RNA segments were determined for human GCRVs detected recently in India (v508), Bangladesh (BS347), China (Wu82 and YNR001) and Japan (OH567 and BK0830) and analysed phylogenetically with sequence data for GCRVs published previously.
