Cattle develop neutralizing antibodies to rotavirus serotypes which could not be isolated from faeces of symptomatic calves [PDF]
, 1991 Neutralizing antibodies against 10 serotypes of rotavirus were measured in sera from different age groups of German cattle. Only five of 143 sera did not neutralize heterologous serotypes.
