Abstract

A total of 209 diarrhoeic faecal samples were collected from calves in nine diary cattle herds located in different areas in Tamil Nadu state, India. Nine faecal samples positive for group A rotavirus by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (RNA-PAGE) followed by silver staining were analyzed by nested-multiplex-reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (nested-multiplex PCR) to identify the P and G genotypes. Nested-multiplex PCR was carried out using the type-specific primers of common genotypes P[11],G10 and P[5],G6 to identify their prevalence. Three out of nine samples were found to be P[1],G10 genotype, and none of the samples was P[5],G6
genotype. The occurrence of zoonotic important bovine genotype (P[11],G10) was reported in this study.
