Abstract excerpt
Avian rotaviruses are broadly distributed among birds, but only scarcely characterized on the molecular level. The VP4-, VP6-, VP7- and NSP5-encoding sequences of eight group A rotaviruses from chickens and turkeys determined here indicate a low degree of sequence similarity with mammalian rotaviruses. An NSP6-encoding region was missing in all chicken isolates except for isolate Ch2. Four novel genotypes (P[30],...
