BOVINE ROTAVIRUS ISOLATED FROM AN OUTBREAK OF ACUTE DIARRHEA IN NEWBORN CALVES
Abstract: An outbreak of acute nonbacterial diarrhea ocurred among the newborn calves of a dairy in Hefei. A strain of bovine rotavirus was isolated using MA104 cells. The isolated virus appeared as typical rotavirus by electronmicroscopy, From the third passage it showed granulated fluorescence in the cytoplasm of MA104 cells and produced cytopathogenic effects(CPE).The RNA PAGE patterns of new isolated virus were indistinguishable from that of reference NCDV strain of bovine rotavirus. The new virus was identified ...
