Why the study?
Despite hygiene improvements reducing calf mortality and viral pathogens, bovine rotavirus A detection remained elevated in calves under 3 weeks old, prompting investigation of circulating G and P genotypes.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.
Population
122 positive rotavirus A samples from calves in farm A in Ibaraki, Japan
Design
Surveillance and molecular epidemiological study

Boot hygiene may sustain low calf mortality; leaves open RVA genotype roles in persistent neonatal infections.
HASAN et al. (2022) studied this question.
