“…SAIl isolated from a rectal swab of a vervet monkey and the '0' agent from intestinal washings of cattle and sheep (9) are also morphologically indistinguishable from the other rotaviruses. They are morphologically indistinguishable from one another, but distinguishable from reovirus.…”

Human, piglet, mouse, foal, lamb, calf and rabbit rotaviruses all infected, but could not readily be subcultured in LLC MK2 cells. Cells infected with mouse and calf rotaviruses reacted by indirect immunofluorescence (FA) with convalescent serum from children, piglets, mice, foals, lambs, calves or rabbits, taken after rotavirus infection. Human, calf, piglet, mouse and foal rotaviruses reacted with human, calf, mouse, foal and lamb convalescent serum by complement fixation (CF). It was not possible to distinguish between different rotaviruses by CF or FA. Neutralization tests, however, detected species-specific rotavirus antigens. Any virus was neutralized by a much higher dilution of homologous species convalescent serum than by any heterologous serum. With the exception of the mouse virus there was very little cross reaction. However, in sera with a very high neutralizing titre for the homologous virus the titre was proportionately raised against heterologous virus. It is, therefore, now possible to type to species an unknown rotavirus by a neutralization test in LLC MK2 cells using convalescent serum from each species.

“…Rotaviruses, previously known as reovirus-like agents, have been demonstrated on numerous occasions in the feces of human infants [44], calves [45], piglets [46], suckling mice [47], rabbits [48], monkeys [49], lambs [50] and foals [51,52]. The primary clinical manifestation of an enteric rotavirus infection is a profuse watery diarrhea with some vomiting in children and pigs.…”

The extensive use of negative staining techniques and electron microscopy in diagnostic centers has resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of reported viral enteric infections in man and animals in the last 10 yr. Enteric infection due to adenoviruses, astroviruses, coronaviruses, paramyxoviruses, parvoviruses, picornaviruses (caliciviruses), rotaviruses as well as some unidentified viral particles are described. The brief literature review on each of these virus families is supplemented with clinical cases submitted to the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory. Comparative aspects of viral infections between different animal species as well as man are discussed wherever possible. INFECTIONS VIRALES DE L'INTESTIN CHEZ LES ANIMAUXET CHEZ L'HOMME R~um~-L'utilisation consid+rable des techniques de coloration negative et de microscopie electronique dans les centres de diagnostic a abouti ~i une dramatique augmentation du nombre des infections virales de l'intestin dbcel6es chez l'homme et chez les animaux au cours de ces 10 derni&es annees. Nous avons decrit les infections des intestins provoqu6es par les ad6novirus, astrovirus, coronavirus, paramyxovirus, parvovirus, picornavirus (calicivirus), rotavirus ainsi que quelques particules virales non identifi/~es. La br~ve litterature ecrite sur chacune de ces families de virus est complet~e par des cas cliniques soumis au Laboratoire des Diagnostics Veterinaires du Texas. Les aspects des infections virales qui pouvaient &re compares dans les diffrrentes esprces animales ainsi que chez l'homme ont et6 discutes lorsque cela ~tait possible.

“…Another virus, 0 (Offal) agent, isolated in 1967 [14], may [13] or may not [2] be related to SAI 1. These viruses, however, are related antigenically to the human rotaviruses and may serve as a model for studies of this group.…”
