Abstract
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was conducted on genomic RNA extracted from rotaviruses detected in diarrheic pigs from conventional swine herds. Ninety samples contained sufficient virus for RNA band visualization and genome classification. Genome profiles were characteristic of typical group A rotaviruses in 67.8% of the 90 samples, of group B rotaviruses in 10.0%, and of group C rotaviruses in 11.1%. In 11.1% of the samples, the presence of more than 11 bands suggested concurrent infection with more than 1 strain of rotavirus. In infections among nursing pigs, 76.4% were group A rotaviruses, 7.4% were group B, 7.4% were group C, and 8.8% were coinfections. In infections among weaned pigs, 40.9% were group A, 18.2% were group B, 22.7% were group C, and 18.2% were coinfections. Coelectrophoresis with prototype OSU and Gottfried strains revealed a great diversity in electropherotype among field strains of rotavirus.Entities:
