Key result
Porcine rotavirus group C presents in ~91% of diarrheic fecal samples from Brazilian suckling piglets.
Why the study?
Porcine rotavirus group C (PoRVC) had not been reported as an etiologic agent of diarrhea outbreaks in suckling piglets in Brazil, and its role in single and mixed infections was unclear.
Observational (n=33)

Rotavirus C merits inclusion in porcine diarrhea diagnostics; leaves open its etiological role and need for surveillance studies.
Lorenzetti et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Neonatal diarrhea (n=33). Porcine rotavirus group C (PoRVC) infection was evaluated on Detection of PoRVC by RT-PCR. Porcine rotavirus group C was detected in 30 of 33 diarrheic fecal samples from suckling piglets across three outbreaks in Brazil, occurring in both single and mixed infections.
