Abstract
The study was carried out to detect group- and subgroup-specific antigens o f bovine rotaviruses. Stool specimens, collected from diarrhoeic calves of the Savar Dairy Farm, Bangladesh, were examined by an enzyme-linked immunos orbent assay, using group- and subgroup-specific monoclonal antibodies. Thi rty-three specimens showed specificity for group A rotavirus. While subgrou ping, 21 group A-positive specimens showed subgroup I specificity. Twelve s pecimens did not react with either of the subgroup I- and subgroup II-speci fic monoclonal antibodies.
