Canine-origin G3P[3] rotavirus strain in child with acute gastroenteritis

Simona De Grazia et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2007 Jul.

Abstract

Infection by an animal-like strain of rotavirus (PA260/97) was diagnosed in a child with gastroenteritis in Palermo, Italy, in 1997. Sequence analysis of VP7, VP4, VP6, and NSP4 genes showed resemblance to a G3P[3] canine strain identified in Italy in 1996. Dogs are a potential source of human viral pathogens.

Phylogenetic analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence derived from VP4 gene of the PA260/97 human rotavirus strain and other P[3] rotavirus strains. The tree was generated by the neighbor-joining method using the ClustalW program (http://dambe.bio.uottawa.ca/dambe.asp). Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions (×100).
