title: Isolation of an unusual G26P[13] group A rotavirus strain from piglets with diarrhea in Brazil.
abstract: This report describes the identification of an unusual G26P[13] genotype combination in a porcine group A rotavirus (RVA) strain. In a retrospective study, the VP7 (G type) and VP4 (P type) genes of porcine RVA Brazilian field strains identified in two diarrheic suckling piglets were amplified by RT-PCR and subjected to sequencing. The sequence analysis revealed the G26P[13] RVA genotype in one strain (BRA381) and G26P[X] in the other (BRA382). This study presents evidence of porcine RVA G26 genotype circulating in a Brazilian pig herd.
