Identification of group A porcine rotavirus strains bearing a novel VP4 (P) Genotype in Italian swine herds

J Clin Microbiol. 2007 Feb;45(2):577-80. doi: 10.1128/JCM.02262-06. Epub 2006 Nov 22.

Abstract

The VP4 gene of a G5 Italian porcine rotavirus strain, 344/04-1, was nontypeable by PCR genotyping. The amino acid sequence of the full-length VP4 protein had low identity (<or=76.6%) with the homologous sequences of representative strains of the remaining P genotypes, providing evidence for a novel P genotype.
