The genome segments encoding the seven structural proteins of African horse sickness virus (AHSV), including the largest coding for VP1, were cloned and sequenced. Analysis of the VP1 sequence supports the putative identity of this protein as an RNA polymerase. The genes encoding the two major core proteins, VP3 and VP7, were also cloned and expressed by both in vitro translation and by means of recombinant baculoviruses. Co-infection of insect cells with VP3 and VP7 recombinant baculoviruses resulted in the intracellular formation of multimeric particles with a diameter of 72 nm, which structurally resembled authentic AHSV cores (core like particles: CLP). The complete genome of AHSV has now been cloned and sequenced.

Bovine rotavirus (BRV) is the main cause of acute gastroenteritis in calves, resulting in significant economic losses to the cattle industry worldwide. Additionally, BRV has multiple genotypes, which could enable cross-species transmission, thereby posing a significant risk to public health. However, there is a problem of multiple genotypes coexisting in BRV, and the cross-protection effect between different genotypes of rotavirus strains is not effective enough.

Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in children under 5 years of age worldwide. Herein, the genetic sequences of 11 RNA segments from three uncommon G9P[4] RVA strains found in the stool samples of children under 5 years of age in Iran were analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The genomic constellations of these three uncommon G9P[4] strains indicated the presence of the double and quadruple reassortants of two G9P[4] strains, containing the VP7/NSP2 and VP7/VP2/NSP2/NSP4 genes on a DS-1-like genetic background, respectively.

(1) Background: Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are the primary cause of severe intestinal diseases in piglets. Porcine rotaviruses (PoRVs) are widely prevalent in Chinese farms, resulting in significant economic losses to the livestock industry. However, isolation of PoRVs is challenging, and their pathogenicity in piglets is not well understood.

Article Synopsis
- Rotavirus A is a virus that causes gastrointestinal diseases in many mammals, including humans and birds like chickens, but there is limited information on its impact on chicken populations in Japan.
- This study presents the first complete genome analysis of avian rotavirus A strains found in Japanese chickens, revealing specific genetic characteristics and their relationship to other strains.
- The genetic analysis indicates that the Japanese ARVA strains are genetically closer to Korean strains than to European ones, but more research is needed to understand their origins and relationships fully.

Rotavirus A (RVA) is a common cause of diarrhea in newborn pigs, leading to significant economic losses. RVA is considered a major public health concern due to genetic evolution, high prevalence, and pathogenicity in humans and animals. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize RVA in swine farms in Chile.
