Provides evidence that rotaviruses belonging to the same genogroup circulate in both human and feline populations.
No immediate change to clinical rotavirus management; leaves open the extent of feline-human genogroup sharing and transmission risk.
A survey of 143 stool specimens collected during a 17-month period in Japan from diarrheal and asymptomatic kittens identified three rotavirus strains that were similar in their genomic RNA constellation to human rotavirus AU-1 (G3P3[9]), lending strong support to the view that rotaviruses belonging to the same genogroup are circulating in both the human and the feline population.
