  • Title: Genomic characterization of porcine rotaviruses in Italy.
    Author: Martella V, Pratelli A, Greco G, Tempesta M, Ferrari M, Losio MN, Buonavoglia C.
    Journal: Clin Diagn Lab Immunol; 2001 Jan; 8(1):129-32. PubMed ID: 11139206.
    Abstract:
    A total of 23 rotavirus strains isolated from pigs were analyzed. Twenty strains had been isolated from diarrheic piglets from an outbreak that occurred in northern Italy in 1983. Three strains had been isolated in 1984 from swine herds located in distinct areas of northern Italy. All 23 strains were characterized as type G6P[5] by PCR. The isolation from piglets of rotaviruses displaying typical bovine G- and P-type specificities points out the high frequency of rotavirus transmission between cattle and pigs.
