Abstract
Rotavirus A strain 14-02218-2, with genome constellation G8P[1]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3, was isolated from newborn fawns. The 14-02218-2 rotavirus strain is related to bovine and bovine-like rotavirus strains. To our knowledge, this is the first report on whole-genome-based characterization of a deer rotavirus G8P[1] strain.
Highlights
Rotavirus A strain 14-02218-2, with genome constellation G8P[1]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3, was isolated from newborn fawns
Samples tested positive for rotavirus A by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR)
Rotavirus A isolation was attempted on African green monkey kidney cells (Marc-145) (ATCC CRL-2378.1) and inspected daily for cytopathic effect (CPE)
Summary
Rotavirus A strain 14-02218-2, with genome constellation G8P[1]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3, was isolated from newborn fawns. Rotaviruses were isolated from primates, cows, pigs, deer, lamb, sheep, goats, camelids, horses, dogs, foals, mice, and birds (1–4). In 2014, lung, heart, kidney, spleen, and, intestine samples were submitted for diagnostic testing from a farm where several newborn fawns were found dead within a few days of birth.
