Demonstration of group C rotaviruses in fecal samples of diarrheic dogs in Germany
Abstract
Three out of 9 fecal samples from diarrheic dogs, which were positive for rotavirus by electron microscopy, revealed RNA-migration patterns identical to those of porcine group C rotavirus when studied by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The results were further confirmed by solid phase immuno electron microscopy (SPIEM). This is the first report of the occurrence of group C rotaviruses in dogs.
