Subgroup and serotype distributions of human, bovine, and porcine rotavirus in Thailand.
The subgroup and serotype specificities of human, bovine, and porcine group A rotaviruses in stool specimens collected in Thailand were examined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by using subgroup- and serotype-specific monoclonal antibodies. A clear yearly change was observed in the serotype distribution of human rotavirus. Between 1983 and 1984, serotype 4 was the most prevalent, while the highest frequency of serotype 2 was found between 1987 and 1988. All the bovine and porcine rotaviruses examined showed subgroup I specificities and long RNA patterns. It was of note that serotype 3 porcine rotaviruses were found at a high frequency.
