Article Abstract
The nucleotide alignment of all 11 genes of human Rotavirus A (RVA) strains revealed suitability of NSP2, NSP3 and VP6 genes for the development of real time PCR (qRT-PCR). Evaluation of qRT-PCR assays using known rotavirus ELISA positive and negative fecal specimens showed non-overlapping ranges of Mean ±3SD cycle threshold (Ct) values for NSP3 and VP6 based assays. Using serial dilutions of purified RVA, high sensitivity of VP6 qRT-PCR assay (1.95 × 10 pg/μL of RNA) was recorded as compared to NSP2 and NSP3 qRT-PCR assays (1.95 × 10 pg/μL of RNA). Further, evaluation of the VP6 qRT-PCR assay involving 266 fecal specimens and frequency polygon analysis of the data indicated cut-off value of 35 for Ct with high sensitivity (126/131, 96%) and specificity (12/12, 100%). This VP6 qRT-PCR assay will be a useful diagnostic tool to evaluate clinical presentations in rotaviral gastroenteritis under different conditions such as breast feeding and administration of rotavirus vaccines.

Background: The causative agents of diarrhea, rotavirus B (RVB) and rotavirus C (RVC) are common in adults and patients of all age groups, respectively. Due to the Rotavirus A (RVA) vaccination program, a significant decrease in the number of gastroenteritis cases has been observed globally. The replacement of RVA infections with RVB, RVC, or other related serogroups is suspected due to the possibility of reducing natural selective constraints due to RVA infections.

The RV3-BB human neonatal rotavirus vaccine aims to provide protection from severe rotavirus disease from birth. A phase IIa safety and immunogenicity trial was undertaken in Dunedin, New Zealand between January 2012 and April 2014. Healthy, full-term (≥ 36 weeks gestation) babies, who were 0-5 d old were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive 3 doses of oral RV3-BB vaccine with the first dose given at 0-5 d after birth (neonatal schedule), or the first dose given at about 8 weeks after birth (infant schedule), or to receive placebo (placebo schedule).

A highly virulent grass carp reovirus (GCRV) strain, named GCRV-AH528, was recently purified from a diseased grass carp with hemorrhage disease in Anhui, China. GCRV-AH528 S9 segment was 1320 nucleotides in length and encoded a 418 amino acid VP6 protein. BLAST search showed that the VP6 protein owned a conserved domain belonging to the reoviral σ2 family.

Epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) is an emerging arboviral pathogen of wild and domestic ruminants worldwide. It is closely related to bluetongue virus (BTV) and is transmitted by adult females of competent Culicoides vector species. The EHDV genome consists of ten linear double-stranded (ds)RNA segments, encoding five non-structural and seven structural proteins.
