Implication

Suggests need for rotavirus surveillance in swine; leaves open clinical impact of reassortant strains on humans.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Diarrheic piglets in Brazil
O
Outcome
Detection of rotavirus types and evidence of genetic reassortment

The study provides evidence for the emergence of new rotavirus strains through natural genetic reassortment between human and porcine viruses.
