Abstract
Out of 500 faecal samples from lambs with diarrhoea in Jammu and Kashmir, India, 66 (13.2%) were positive for group A rotavirus (GARV) by the latex agglutination test (LAT). Electropherotyping by RNA-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the typical GARV 4-2-3-2 migration pattern in 49/66 (74.2%) samples. Fifty-two samples (10.4%) were positive by reverse transcription-PCR. G6 was the predominant G genotype (25/52; 48.07%), followed by G10 (19/52; 36.54%) whereas, the predominant P genotype was P[11] (46/52; 88.46%). G6P[11] is the prevalent strain of group A rotavirus in sheep in Jammu and Kashmir, India.
