Typing by polymerase chain reaction of buffalo rotaviruses isolated in Italy.
Six group A rotaviruses were isolated in Italy from buffaloes during different outbreaks of calf diarrhoea occurring in the same dairy herd over a 5-year period of observation. The isolates were characterized by polymerase chain reaction assay for G- and P-type antigens. G8 and P1 were the types most frequently isolated.
