Globally, rotavirus C (RVC) causes diarrhoeal outbreaks, mainly in swine, with sporadic incidents in human, bovine, and canine populations. In this study, two human RVC strains, RVC/Human-wt/KOR/CAU13-1-77/2013 and RVC/Human-wt/KOR/CAU14-1-242/2014, were isolated in South Korea, and their complete genome sequences were compared with those of other human- and animal-origin RVC strains found worldwide. Genetic analysis revealed that these viruses have a G4-P[2]-I2-R2-C2-M3-A2-N2-T2-E2-H2 genotype constellation. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that these Korean RVC strains belong to the M3 lineage of the VP3 gene in human RVC from Japan and China and porcine RVC from Japan. These results suggest that RVC circulates in northeast Asia in both the human and porcine populations. These results also provide evidence of interspecies RVC reassortment events.

Article Synopsis
- Group A and C rotaviruses are significant pathogens in swine, and research in Canada is needed to understand their prevalence and impact in pig herds.
- A study was conducted on farms experiencing diarrhea, involving 94 sick piglets and 127 healthy ones, revealing a prevalence of 45.4% for RVA and 27.4% for RVC in piglets.
- RVC showed a strong association with diarrhea, indicating the need for better preventative measures and ongoing monitoring of both rotavirus types in swine populations.

Article Synopsis
- Rotavirus group C (RVC) is a significant cause of gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide, but there is limited genome data available for it.
- In a study in China, researchers analyzed an outbreak by sequencing samples from 22 patients, finding six positive for RVC, specifically identifying the strain SJZ217.
- Genomic analysis showed that SJZ217 shares high similarity with a strain from Korea and clusters with RVC strains from Japan and Europe, highlighting its genetic diversity and reassortment patterns.

Rotaviruses (RVs) are known to infect various avian and mammalian hosts, including swine. The most common RVs associated with infection in pigs are A, B, C and H (RVA-C; RVH). In this study we analysed rotavirus strains circulating on a porcine farm in the Western Cape province of South Africa over a two-year period.

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.
