Distinct serotypes of porcine rotavirus associated with diarrhea in suckling piglets in southern Quebec

Summary:Cytopathic rotavirus strains were isolated in cell cultures from the intestinal contents of diarrheic piglets on Quebec pig farms where repeated outbreaks of enteritis occurred. All the isolates shared the common group antigens of rotaviruses as revealed by immunofluorescence and counterimmunoelectrophoresis. A hemagglutinating activity was demonstrated with human group O, porcine and guinea pig erythrocytes. At least one of the isolates was clearly distinguished from the American prototype of porcine rotavirus (strain OSU) by neutralization and hemagglutination inhibition tests; a third serotype was also suspected. By polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of RNA, it was not possible to differentiate these isolates.
