Key result
Genome sequencing of turkey rotavirus A strains Ty-1 and Ty-3 established their complete genotype constellations and classified their VP4 and NSP5 genes into novel genotypes.
The study provides complete genome sequences for two turkey rotavirus A strains, identifying novel genotypes for their VP4 and NSP5 genes.

Supports expanded avian rotavirus surveillance; leaves open functional and epidemiological roles of novel VP4/NSP5 genotypes.
To obtain complete genome sequences of turkey rotavirus A strains Ty-1 and Ty-3, we sequenced the gene segments that had not been decoded previously. The genotype constellations of the respective strains were determined to be G17-P[38]-I4-R4-C4-M4-A16-N4-T4-E4-H4 and G7-P[35]-I4-R4-C4-M4-A16-N4-T4-E11-H14. Notably, their VP4 and NSP5 genes were classified into novel genotypes.
