Candidate rotavirus vaccines have been prepared with reassortant strains specifically to
protect against the 4 major rotavirus G serotypes (Gl-4). Many studies using P (VP4) …

Rotaviruses appear to exist as heterogeneous populations of reassortants and related
variants. This phenomenon is consistent with the quasispecies concept of RNA viruses, and …

Background Rotavirus infection is thought to be confined to the intestine. Reports of rotavirus
RNA in the cerebral spinal fluid and serum of children infected with rotavirus suggest the …

An outbreak of canine parvovirus type 2c (CPV-2c) infection in vaccinated adult dogs is
reported. The disease occurred in a breeding kennel in Italy and affected 11 dogs aged …

Summary Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV‐2), the aetiological agent of haemorrhagic
enteritis in dogs, includes three antigenic variants, types 2a, 2b and 2c. CPV‐2c has been …

Rotavirus serotype G5 in fecal specimens of 38 Brazilian children with diarrhea was
identified by PCR and enzyme immunoassays. The strains exhibited long RNA …

One hundred rotavirus strains detected in children with acute diarrhea in Blantyre, Malawi,
between July 1997 and January 1998 were characterized for G (VP7) and P (VP4) types by …

Group A rotaviruses can infect both humans and animals. Individual rotavirus strains can
occasionally cross species barriers and might hereby contribute to the emergence of new …

A PCR typing assay was developed to identify rotavirus P types (VP4 specificity) of bovine
NCDV, UK, and B223 strains and porcine OSU and Gottfried strains. Thirty-nine human and …

A total of 29 faecal samples collected from dogs with diarrhoea following canine parvovirus
(CPV) vaccination were tested by minor groove binder (MGB) probe assays for …
