Abstract

During a surveillance study (November 2001–March 2005), one rare G15P[11] and two rare G15P[21] bovine group A rotavirus strains were detected in diarrhoeic calves in Eastern India. Sequence analysis of the VP8*, VP6, NSP4 and NSP5 genes of the G15P[11] strain confirmed its bovine origin. Although the NSP4 and NSP5 genes of the two G15P[21] strains were of bovine origin, their VP6 genes shared higher nucleotide and amino acid identities with simian strain SA11 (92.5–93.1% and 98.5–98.7%) than bovine strains (88.5–88.9% and 97–97.2%), and by phylogenetic analysis, exhibited clustering with SA11, distantly related to bovine strains. All these pointed towards a possible reassortment event of VP6 gene between bovine and simian (SA11-like) strains. Therefore, the present study provided molecular evidence for bovine origin of G15 strains and revealed a rare instance of genetic diversity in the bovine VP6 gene, otherwise conserved in group A rotavirus strains from cattle.
