Prevalence of Rotavirus in Diarrheic Piglets on RVA-Vaccinated and Non-Vaccinated Farms.

ABSTRACT: Rotaviruses (RVs) are an important cause of piglet diarrhea. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of rotavirus A, B, and C (RVA, RVB and RVC) in two RVA-vaccinated (VAC) and four non-vaccinated (NON-VAC) farms, and the impact of RVA vaccination on production parameters. Additionally, RVs prevalence in consecutive weekly groups from one vaccinated and one non-vaccinated farm was assessed. Diarrheic feces or ileum content were screened for RVs using real-time RT-PCR. In VAC, no RVA or RVB was detected, while RVC was found in all the samples (15/15). In NON-VAC, RVA, RVB, and RVC were detected in 10.5%, 13.2%, and 52.6% of samples, respectively. RVC was the most prevalent species in longitudinal study, while RVA was found in single samples. RVB was detected in one sample from the vacc
