Article Abstract
In 2006-07, 77 cases of gastroenteritis in Rochester, NY, USA were associated with rotavirus genotype G12P[8]. Sequence analysis identified a high degree of genetic relatedness among the VP7 and VP4 genes of the Rochester G12P[8] strains and between these strains and currently circulating human G12P[8] strains. Out of 77 samples, two and seven unique nucleotide sequences were identified for VP7 and VP4 genes, respectively. Rochester strain VP7 genes were found to occupy the G12-III lineage and VP4 genes clustered within the P[8]-3 lineage. Six strains contained non-synonymous nucleotide substitutions that produced amino acid changes at 6 sites in the VP8(∗) region of the VP4 gene. Two sites (amino acids 242 and 246) were located in or near a described trypsin cleavage site. Selection analyses identified one positively selected VP7 site (107) and strong purifying selection at 58 sites within the VP7 gene as well as 2 of the 6 variant sites (79 and 218) in VP4.

In Brazil, molecular surveillance expanded after Rotarix™ vaccine introduction, alongside G2P[4] dominance. The G2P[6] genotype, despite sharing the same DS-1-like constellation as G2P[4] strains, remains rare. This retrospective study analyzed eight Brazilian G2P[6] strains (2012-2014) through RT-PCR and 11-segments sequencing, followed by phylogenetic analysis.

Group A rotavirus (RVA) is a leading causative agent of diarrhea in both young animals and humans. In China, multiple genotypes are commonly found within the bovine population. In this study, we investigated 1917 fecal samples from calves with diarrhea between 2022 and 2025, with 695 testing positive for RVA, yielding an overall detection rate of 36.

Background: Rotavirus A group (RVA) is a leading cause of viral diarrhea, posing a substantial economic and public health burden. Compared to other enteric viruses, RVA possesses diverse genetic mechanisms, making it more challenging to control and prevent. Moreover, surveillance and evolutionary studies on RVA remain limited in Southern China.

: Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is considered as the primary causative agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in young children, leading to severe neurological complications and contributing to substantial mortalities in recent HFMD outbreaks across Asia. Despite this, there is currently no effective antiviral treatment available for EV-A71. RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful mechanism of post-transcriptional gene regulation that utilizes small interfering RNA (siRNA) to target and degrade specific RNA sequences.

Diarrhea is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in piglets during the neonatal period. Porcine neonatal diarrhea is a complex disease often caused by porcine rotavirus (PoRV) worldwide. This report describes the diversity of species and genotypes of PoRV field strains currently circulating in the nursery pens of an unvaccinated pig herd in southern Brazil.
