Sequence analysis of unusual P[7]G5 bovine rotavirus strains reveals evidence of interspecies transmission.
By sequence and phylogenetic analyses, the 11 genomic segments of two bovine rotaviruses isolated from clinically infected calves were proven to be derived from the swine-like P[7]G5 genotype. This finding reinforced the hypothesis that interspecies transmission of completely heterologous strains can occur in nature.
