Structured PICO

Population

Stool samples from 11 piglets (diarrheic and with normal consistency) positive for the RV-C VP6 gene in an RT-PCR assay

Intervention

Molecular analysis and sequencing of a region of gene 5 (VP6 gene)

Outcome

Genetic diversity and polymorphism of the VP6 gene

There is genetic polymorphism in the VP6 gene of porcine RV-C strains in Brazil, with heterogeneous strains widely spread in Brazilian pig herds.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Genetic diversity among Brazilian porcine RV-C strains supports surveillance; leaves open questions on vaccine cross-protection.

Mdici et al. (2010) studied this question.
