Cross neutralization tests with a panel of rotavirus strains representing previously described nine VP7 (G) serotypes revealed that bovine rotavirus strain KK-3, a prototype Japanese bovine serotype 2, belonged to a new serotype (G10), confirming and extending the recent report of Snodgrass et al. [J. Clin. Microbiol. 28: 504-507 (1990)] which showed that hyperimmune serum to the KK-3 strain neutralized the B223 strain, a proposed type strain of G10. Further antigenic characteristics of the KK-3 strain, as well as the 0510 strain (a G6 strain isolated in Japan), were examined in terms of their VP4 (P) specificity. For the characterization of P types, we employed genetic reassortants that possess VP4 gene for UK and VP7 gene for D (G1), VP4 gene for NCDV and VP7 gene for SA11 (G3), or VP4 gene for SA11 and VP7 gene for NCDV (G6) in the plaque reduction neutralization assay with hyperimmune sera against these two Japanese strains and the prototype bovine rotavirus NCDV strain. While the 0510 strain had UK-like P and NCDV-like G types, the KK-3 strain had a distinct set of P and G types. Thus, at least three P types (NCDV-, UK-, and KK-3-like) and two G types (G6 and G10) are present among bovine rotavirus strains.

Impact of storage temperature and ultraviolet irradiation on rotavirus survival on food matrices.

Food Res Int

Department of Food and Nutrition, College of Biotechnology and Natural Resources, Chung-Ang University, 4726, Gyeonggi-do 17546, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

This study investigated the survival of human rotavirus (HRV) on fresh beef, chicken, and lettuce stored at various temperatures, as well as the effect of UV-C exposure on HRV viability on these food surfaces. At 20 °C, the survival rate of three HRV strains (WA, 89-12C2, and DS-1) on beef, chicken, and lettuce decreased within 3 days, with the most significant reduction observed on beef. When stored at 4 °C, a significant reduction in HRV viability was observed by day 7, with the greatest decrease observed on beef, followed by chicken and lettuce.

Post rotavirus vaccine introduction in Mozambique (September 2015), we documented a decline in rotavirus-associated diarrhoea and genotypes changes in our diarrhoeal surveillance spanning 2008-2021. This study aimed to perform whole-genome sequencing of rotavirus strains from 2009 to 2012 (pre-vaccine) and 2017-2018 (post-vaccine). Rotavirus strains previously detected by conventional PCR as G2P[4], G2P[6], G3P[4], G8P[4], G8P[6], and G9P[6] from children with moderate-to-severe and less-severe diarrhoea and without diarrhoea (healthy community controls) were sequenced using Illumina MiSeq platform and analysed using bioinformatics tools.

Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in cattle significantly impacts the economy due to relatively high morbidity and mortality and decreased production. Its multifactorial nature drives its global persistence, involving enteric viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and environmental factors. Bovine (BoRVA) and bovine coronavirus (BCoV) are among the most important enteric RNA viruses causing AGE in cattle.

Maternal Transmission of Rotavirus to Calves and Comparison of Colostrum and Fecal Microbiota in Holstein and Hanwoo Cattle.

Vet Sci

November 2024

Ruminant Nutrition and Anaerobe Laboratory, Department of Animal Science and Technology, Sunchon National University, Suncheon 57922, Republic of Korea.

This study aimed to evaluate rotavirus transmission to calves and analyze microbial communities in cow milk and neonatal calf feces within dairy and beef cattle. A total of 20 cattle, Hanwoo ( = 10), and Holstein ( = 10) were allotted for the study, with each breed comprising five cows and five calves. Colostrum samples were obtained from the dam, while feces were obtained from both the dam and calf.

Article Synopsis
  • Rotavirus A (RVA) is a leading cause of gastroenteritis in calves and has the potential to spread to humans, making it a public health concern.
  • A study in Amhara, Ethiopia, involved 266 calves to assess the prevalence and genetic variety of RVA, finding a 15.4% infection rate with various G and P genotypes.
  • The research highlights the need for ongoing monitoring of RVA in calves due to its significant presence and possible zoonotic transmission risks.
