Abstract

The complete coding sequence of a rotavirus A strain was determined from a dead racing pigeon in Florida. It was found to be most closely related to a rotavirus A strain isolated from a dead racing pigeon in California.

Maximum likelihood cladogram depicting the relationships of the RVA identified from a Florida racing pigeon (strain WVL21015, highlighted in red) to other rotaviruses, based on the nucleotide sequence alignment of the VP1 gene. The rotaviruses are indicated by GenBank accession number, official rotavirus nomenclature, and genotype. The bracket highlighted in purple includes mammalian RVA strains, and the bracket highlighted in green includes avian rotavirus A strains. All nodes with black circles are supported by bootstrap values of >80%. The tree was rooted with non-RVA species.
