| Popis: | DIG-labelled ssRNA probes were prepared from variable regions of VP4 and VP7 cognate genes, and used in hybridization assays for P and G genotyping of group A cell culture-adapted equine rotaviruses and fecal samples collected from foals with and without diarrhea. The probes confirmed known P and G serotypes of sixteen cell culture-adapted strains. From one-hundred and twenty-one rotavirus-positive samples, 83 reacted when tested for their P and G genotype specific probes. From these, 71 were found to contain G3 P12 genotypes, and 11 G14 P12 genotypes. No sample reacted with H1 or L338 P and G genotype probes. This suggests that the equine rotavirus population is conservative, containing predominantly one P genotype and two G genotypes. One isolate (26/94) whose dsRNA was visualized in an agarose gel did not react with any of the equine probes, and was found to belong to G8 and P1 genotypes. This is the fourth example of a single unique equine isolate (after H1, L338, and R-22). The remaining thirty-eight untypable field isolates had no detectable dsRNA after storage for 1 to 3 years. |
