Abstract excerpt
Group A rotaviruses are a leading cause of gastroenteritis in humans and animals. Transmission between mammalian species and humans has been demonstrated repeatedly. Here, the first entire genome sequence (19,064 bp) of a chicken rotavirus, strain Ch-02V0002G3, is presented. A low degree of nucleotide sequence identity with the mammalian group A rotaviruses is evident for all 11 genome segments, whereas a closer...
