Porcine rotavirus closely related to novel group of human rotaviruses

Emerg Infect Dis. 2011 Aug;17(8):1491-3. doi: 10.3201/eid1708.101466.

Abstract

We determined nucleotide sequences and inferred amino acid sequences of viral protein (VP) 4, VP6, VP7, and nonstructural protein 4 genes of a porcine rotavirus strain (SKA-1) from Japan. The strain was closely related to a novel group of human rotavirus strains (B219 and J19).
