Abstract
A survey of 143 stool specimens collected during a 17-month period in Japan from diarrheal and asymptomatic kittens identified three rotavir us strains that were similar in their genomic RNA constellation to hum an rotavirus AU-1 (G3P3[9]), lending strong support to the view that r otaviruses belonging to the same genogroup are circulating in both the human and the feline population.
