RNA-RNA hybridization reveals genetic relatedness among different serotypes and geographic isolates of equine rotaviruses.
Equine rotavirus surveillance may warrant genotyping; extends hybridization data but leaves open transmission and control implications.
Serotype G3 equine rotaviruses isolated in Japan made up a common genogroup and were classified into two different genotypes. The genomes of serotype G3 equine rotaviruses with an identical electropherotype (isolated from 1982 to 1989) were very closely related to each other regardless of the year in which they were isolated. Serotype G3 equine rotavirus BI originating from England belonged to the same genogroup of serotype G3 equine rotaviruses isolated in Japan, although BI was classified as having a different genotype. The genomes of both serotype G10 equine rotavirus R-22 and serotype G10 calf rotavirus were closely related to each other.
