Popis: | In this study 113 diarrhoeic faecal samples obtained from buffalo (n = 68) and cattle (n = 45) calves under 1 years of age were analysed in order to determine the presence of rotavirus infection and the frequency of picobirnavirus excretion. Eleven (9.73%) samples positive for group A rotavirus were identified through RNA-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (RNA-PAGE), while 4 (3.53%) samples showed a bisegmented genome with a typical picobirnavirus pattern. This is the first report of picobirnavirus in cattle and buffalo calves from Western India. |
