Abstract excerpt
Porcine group A rotaviruses (GARV) are causative agents of enteritis in piglets and are a large reservoir of genetic material for the diversification of human GARVs.

Screening of 292 fecal samples, collected from 4-5- to 8-9-week-old asymptomatic pigs from four herds in Ireland...
