Abstract excerpt
We determined the nucleotide sequences of the outer capsid glycoprotein (VP7) genes of 38 porcine group B rotaviruses (GBRs) from feces of pigs at 27 farms in Japan between 2000 and 2007. Substantial diversity among porcine GBR VP7 genes was observed, with up to 42.4% difference in nucleotides and 49.8% in amino acids. On comparison of VP7 genes, porcine GBRs were clearly distinct from the published corresponding...
