| hemagglutination by a human rotavirus isolate as evidence for transmission of animal rotaviruses to humans. | human rotavirus strain ro1845, which was isolated in 1985 from an israeli child with diarrhea, has a hemagglutinin that is capable of agglutinating erythrocytes from guinea pigs, sheep, chickens, and humans (group o). hemagglutination was inhibited after incubation with hyperimmune sera or in the presence of glycophorin, the erythrocyte receptor for animal rotaviruses. these results suggest that ro1845 is an animal rotavirus that infected a human child. | 1992 | 1315327 |
| homotypic and heterotypic serological responses to rotavirus neutralization epitopes in immunologically naive and experienced animals. | gnotobiotic or specific-pathogen-free animals with no previous exposure to rotavirus were vaccinated with strain uk, serotype g6. the highest serological response was to homologous virus; significant but lower responses occurred to viruses with either vp4 or vp7 related to that of vaccine virus; responses to other viruses were of low titer or infrequent. adult cows vaccinated with uk virus produced increased titers of antibody to all rotavirus serotypes. the increases in titer to homologous viru ... | 1991 | 1723075 |
| identification of bluetongue virus vp6 protein as a nucleic acid-binding protein and the localization of vp6 in virus-infected vertebrate cells. | recently the insect baculovirus autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (acnpv) has been effectively adapted as a highly efficient vector in insect cells for the expression of various genes. a cdna sequence of rna segment 9 of bluetongue virus serotype 10 (btv-10, an orbivirus member of the reoviridae family) encoding a minor core protein (vp6) has been inserted into the bamhi site of the pacym1 transfer vector derived from acnpv. spodoptera frugiperda cells were cotransfected with the ... | 1990 | 2152806 |
| some infectious causes of diarrhea in young farm animals. | escherichia coli, rotaviruses, and cryptosporidium parvum are discussed in this review as they relate to enteric disease in calves, lambs, and pigs. these microorganisms are frequently incriminated as causative agents in diarrheas among neonatal food animals, and in some cases different strains or serotypes of the same organism cause diarrhea in humans. e. coli causes diarrhea by mechanisms that include production of heat-labile or heat-stable enterotoxins and synthesis of potent cytotoxins, and ... | 1990 | 2224836 |

| isolation of cytophatic strains of rotavirus from pigs. | twenty-two rotavirus isolates were recovered from piglets suffering from diarrhea. the isolates readily propagated in ma-104 cell cultures where they induced typical cytopathic effects (cpe) and possessed the physicochemicals properties of the members of rotavirus genus, family reoviridae. the electron microscopy study, conducted in ma-104 infected cells, revealed virus particles which possessed the peculiar morphology of rotavirus. the isolates were neutralized by a reference porcine rotavirus ... | 1986 | 3018451 |
| prevalence of antibody to group b (atypical) rotavirus in humans and animals. | enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were developed for the detection of group b rotavirus antigen and antibody. the specificities of both assays were evaluated for antigens and serum specific for rotavirus groups a to d. serum collected in the united kingdom from different animal species exhibited the following high prevalence of group b rotavirus-specific antibody: pigs, 97%; cattle, 71%; sheep, 91%; and goats, 91%. in human serum, a lower prevalence of group b-specific antibody was detected; se ... | 1987 | 3029164 |
| comparative pathology of infection by novel diarrhoea viruses. | examination of diarrhoeic faeces in the electron microscope often reveals viruses that are presumed to be enteropathogenic. lesions caused by novel rotaviruses were similar to those of group a rotaviruses, but enterocyte syncytia were seen which are probably pathognomonic for novel rotaviruses. in adenovirus infection in piglets, mature enterocytes were infected and destroyed; intranuclear inclusion bodies were seen in infected enterocytes. calici-like viruses infected mature enterocytes in calv ... | 1987 | 3036441 |
| the diagnostic gap in diarrhoeal aetiology. | it is well established that rotaviruses of group a are the most important cause of severe diarrhoea in children. the causes of most cases of infectious diarrhoea still remain unidentified, however, and there must be other viruses to be found. 'novel' rotaviruses have recently been discovered, mainly in animals (serogroups b and c in pigs and humans, d in birds, and one or more further groups in sheep and other mammals). except for the group b virus which has caused widespread outbreaks of quite ... | 1987 | 3036443 |
| novel rotaviruses in animals and man. | novel (non-group a) rotaviruses have many of the morphological, biochemical and biological properties described originally for group a rotaviruses but they do not share the same group antigens. by negative-stain electron microscopy, novel rotaviruses have the characteristic rotavirus morphology, although with some novel rotaviruses the characteristic single- and double-shelled particles may not be readily apparent. comparison of novel rotaviruses in serological tests has revealed the existence o ... | 1987 | 3036446 |
| [epidemiology of diarrhea caused by escherichia coli and rotavirus in calves and lambs in morocco]. | an epidemiological survey on e coli and rotavirus associated diarrheas in one to twenty five days old calves and lambs was made in three regions: rabat-kenitra, marrakech and agadir. isolated e coli k99 stains have been studied of a biochemical, serotypical (o antigen) and antibiotypical point of view. the identification of rotavirus was made by elisa test. persistence of k99 antigen and heat stable toxin a was examined after a conservation of 5 weeks at - 18 degrees c. the frequency of e coli k ... | 1988 | 3041900 |
| comparison of direct electron microscopy and enzyme immunoassay for the detection of rotaviruses in calves, lambs, piglets and foals. | direct electron microscopy (em) and enzyme-immunoassay (rotazyme) results for the detection of rotaviruses in 346 enteric specimens from calves, lambs, piglets and foals were compared. the rotazyme test was at least 3 times more sensitive than direct em in diagnosing infection. rotavirus antigen was demonstrated by rotazyme in 22% of 280 scour samples and in 27% of 66 samples from non-scouring animals. there was an association between diarrhoea and higher amounts of rotavirus antigen. this preva ... | 1988 | 3041953 |
| bovine rotavirus serotypes and their significance for immunization. | neutralization assays on calf fecal rotavirus with antisera to two previously described bovine rotavirus serotypes allowed the isolation of four rotaviruses belonging to a distinct third serotype. in a survey of 85 calf isolates, 80 rotaviruses belonged to serotype 1 (91%), 1 belonged to serotype 2 (1%), and 4 belonged to serotype 3 (5%). serotypes 1 and 2 were shown to not cross-protect in a passive immunization experiment in gnotobiotic lambs. ingestion of specific antiserum protected against ... | 1984 | 6092421 |

| comparative molecular characterization of gene segment 11-derived nsp6 from lamb rotavirus llr strain used as a human vaccine in china. | sequence-length polymorphism is known for rotavirus genetic segment 11 (encodes non-structural protein, nsp6). with the exception of 11 strains that have the coding potential for a 98-residue nsp6, majority of the strains have the potential for a 92-residue nsp6. in nine strains, the coding potential for this protein is even shorter. this report focuses on the nsp6 gene nucleotide sequence of lanzhou lamb rotavirus (llr) strain and its comparative molecular characterization. the llr strain is a ... | 2006 | 16492399 |
| genomic characterization of a novel group a lamb rotavirus isolated in zaragoza, spain. | an ovine rotavirus (ovr) strain, 762, was isolated from a 30-day-old lamb affected with severe gastroenteritis, in zaragoza, spain, and the vp4, vp7, vp6, nsp4, and nsp5/nsp6 genes were subsequently characterized molecularly. strain ovr762 was classified as a p[14] rotavirus, as the vp4 and vp8* trypsin-cleavage product of the vp4 protein revealed the highest amino acid (aa) identity (94% and 97%, respectively) with that of the p11[14] human rotavirus (hrv) strain pa169, isolated in italy. analy ... | 2008 | 18661221 |
| are human p[14] rotavirus strains the result of interspecies transmissions from sheep or other ungulates that belong to the mammalian order artiodactyla? | a limited number of human g6p[14] rotavirus strains that cause gastroenteritis in humans have been isolated in europe and australia. the complete genome sequences were determined for five of these human strains--b10925-97 (isolated in belgium in 1997), 111/05-27 (italy, 2005), pa169 (italy, 1987), mg6 (australia, 1993), and hun5 (hungary, 1997)--and their genetic relatedness to animal rotavirus strains was evaluated by sequencing the complete genome of the sheep rotavirus ovr762 (g8p[14]; spain, ... | 2009 | 19153225 |
