title: Naturally occurring dual infection with human and bovine rotaviruses as suggested by the recovery of G1P8 and G1P5 rotaviruses from a single patient.
abstract: Culture adaptation of rotaviruses from an infant with severe diarrhea in Cincinnati, Ohio, yielded not only a virus with the original RNA electropherotype (CJN) but also rotaviruses with other electropherotypes, the most dominant of which was called CJN-M [Ward RL, Knowlton DR, Schiff GM, Hoshino Y, Greenberg HB (1988) in J Virol 62: 1543-1549]. RNA-RNA hybridization and sequencing studies indicated that CJN was a typical G1P8 human rotavirus while CJN-M was a G1P5 strain and contained four gene segments (including segment 4) of a bovine rotavirus. Thus, the infant was apparently dually infected with human and bovine rotaviruses.
