  • Title: Rotaviruses from Canadian farm samples.
    Author: Lamhoujeb S, Cook A, Pollari F, Bidawid S, Farber J, Mattison K.
    Journal: Arch Virol; 2010 Jul; 155(7):1127-37. PubMed ID: 20517624.
    Abstract:
    Animal rotavirus (RoV) strains detected in Canadian swine and dairy cattle farms were characterized by sequence analysis of viral protein 4 (VP4), VP6, VP7 and non-structural protein 4 segments from 15 RoV strains. Some porcine strains were found to contain a mixture of segments typical of human and animal viruses. One strain represented a novel VP6 genotype "I14", G2-P[27]-I14. Other strains detected in porcine samples represented multiple different segment types. These results illustrate the active evolution of animal RoV strains and underline the need for surveillance of both animal and human strains in public health-monitoring programs.
