Abstract excerpt
Porcine group C rotavirus (RVC) is recognised as an enteric pathogen in piglets worldwide. The VP6 gene of RVC is divided into seven I-genotypes. Genotypes I2 and I3 are found in human and bovine strains, respectively; the porcine strains are divided into the other five genotypes (I1, I4-I7). In this study, molecular analysis of nearly the full length of the VP6 gene was performed in 11 Brazilian wild-type...
