Porcine Rotavirus Closely Related to Novel Group of Human Rotaviruses
We determined nucleotide sequences and inferred amino acid sequences of viral protein (VP) 4, VP6, VP7, and nonstructural protein 4 genes of a porcine rotavirus strain (SKA-1) from Japan. The strain was closely related to a novel group of human rotavirus

Isolation of group B porcine rotavirus in cell culture [PDF]
While group A and C rotaviruses have been grown in cell culture, group B rotavirus has never been cultured. In this study we successfully isolated porcine group B rotavirus in swine kidney cells. Pancreatin treatment is essential for the propagation of group B rotavirus.

The Use of Convalescent Sera in Immune-Electron Microscopy to Detect Non-Suspected/New Viral Agents
Negative staining electron microscopy methods can be employed for the diagnosis of viral particles in animal samples. In fact, negative staining electron microscopy methods are used to identify viruses, especially in minor species and wild animals, when ...

Characterization of a Second Bovine Rotavirus Serotype [PDF]
Bovine rotavirus (BRV) V 1005 was characterized by two-way cross-neutralization tests as a second serotype of BRV. Virions and inner shell particles of 65 nm and 55 nm diameter respectively, and empty capsids of 65 nm and 55 nm diameter were separated by

Rotavirus infections and climate variability in Dhaka, Bangladesh: a time-series analysis. [PDF]
Attempts to explain the clear seasonality of rotavirus infections have been made by relating disease incidence to climate factors; however, few studies have disentangled the effects of weather from other factors that might cause seasonality.
