Abstract
The G (VP7) and P (VP4) serotype distribution of Brazilian porcine rotaviru ses was determined using reverse transcription-PCR genotyping methods. Comm on porcine G types G3, G4, and G5 were detected in combination with P types [6] and [7]. The detection of nonporcine G types and unusual G-P combinati ons and the characterization of an atypical virus indicated that interspeci es transmission may contribute to the genetic diversity of porcine rotaviru ses.
