title: Presence of group A and non-A rotaviruses in neonatal piglets in Campinas, SP, Brazil.
abstract: Rotaviruses were detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) in 11 (84.6%) of 13 faecal specimens from neonatal piglets with acute diarrhoea in a piggery near the city of Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil. An immunoenzimatic assay for group A rotavirus (IEA-A) was positive in ten of the samples, all of which showed a PAGE profile typical of that group. Another sample was showed a group B profile in PAGE. An immunoenzimatic assay specific for group B (IEA-B) for this faecal sample was positive, confirming the PAGE results.
