Sequence analysis of unusual P[7]G5 bovine rotavirus strains reveals evidence of interspecies transmission.

ABSTRACT: By sequence and phylogenetic analyses, the 11 genomic segments of two bovine rotaviruses isolated from clinically infected calves were proven to be derived from the swine-like P[7]G5 genotype. This finding reinforced the hypothesis that interspecies transmission of completely heterologous strains can occur in nature.
