Abstract

The relative frequencies of both the G (VP7) and P (VP4) serotypes of 40 bovine rotaviruses isolated in cell culture from diarrheic calves in Japan between January 1983 and February 1991 were determined by recently developed polymerase chain reaction assays. Isolates with G serotype 6 and P serotype 5 (UK-like strains) were most frequently found (42.5%) followed by isolates with G6P11 (17.5%), G6P1 (10%), or G10P5 (10%). Isolates with G10P11 (B223-like strains) were least frequently found (7.5%). The presence of various combinations of G and P serotypes suggests frequent reassortment in nature among bovine rotaviruses.
