Equine rotaviruses were first detected in foals over 30 years ago and remain a major cause of infectious diarrhoea in foals. During this time, there has been substantial progress in the development of sensitive methods to detect rotaviruses in foals, enabling surveillance of the genotypes present in various horse populations. However, there has been limited epidemiological investigation into the significance of these circulating genotypes, their correlation with disease and the use of vaccination in these animal populations. Our knowledge of the pathogenesis of rotavirus infection in foals is based on a limited number of studies on a small number of foals and, therefore, most of our understanding in this area has been extrapolated from studies in other species. Questions such as the concentrations of rotavirus particles shed in the faeces of infected foals, both with and without diarrhoea, and factors determining the presence or absence of clinical disease remain to be investigated, as does the relative and absolute efficacy of currently available vaccines. The answer to these questions may help direct research into the development of more effective control measures.

“…Serological surveys have detected antibody in most adult horses, suggesting that equine rotaviruses are ubiquitous (10,15,21,46). Equine GARVs have been identified in the feces of diarrheic foals in Britain (17), the United States (10,34), Australia (52,55), New Zealand (11), Ireland (51), and Japan (24).…”

Molecular Characterization of Equine Rotavirus in Ireland

Group A rotaviruses are important causative agents of severe, acute dehydrating diarrhea in foals. A total of 86 rotavirus-positive fecal samples, collected from diarrheic foals from 11 counties in three of the four provinces of Ireland, were obtained from the Irish Equine Centre in Kildare during a 7-year (1999 to 2005) passive surveillance study and were characterized molecularly to establish the VP7 (G type) and VP4 (P type) antigenic specificities. Fifty-eight samples (67.5%) were found to contain G3 viruses, while in 26 samples (30.2%) the rotaviruses were typed as G14 and in 2 samples (2.3%) there was a mixed infection, G3 plus G14. All samples except for two, which were untypeable, were characterized as P

“…Since from this, equine RVs have been known to be the major causes of diarrhea in foals (Imagawa et al, 1991;Collins et al, 2008;Frederick et al, 2009). Based on the serological reports equine RVAs have been shown to be ubiquitous in the equine populations (Pearson et al, 1982).…”

“…Many test kits available for human RV detection has also been employed in the detection of equine rotaviruses, though the sensitivity of ELISA has been found more in respect to other immunodiagnostic test (Nemoto et al, 2010a). The indication of widespread RVA infections in horses was evident by the finding of RVA specific antibodies in adult horses (Pearson et al, 1982;Eichhorn & Huan-Chun, 1987). It was also evident by the detection of RVA in equine population from different countries which includes the United Kingdom (Strickland et al, 1982), the United States of America (Kanitz, 1977), Australia Tzipori & Walker, 1978 Ciarlet et al, 1994) and India (Gulati et al, 2009).…”

Equines, the earliest known mammalian species, have been found highly susceptible to several enteric pathogens including viruses, fungi, parasites and bacteria. This review conserves with the key viral pathogens that affects foals and horses such as rotavirus, adenovirus, coronavirus, parvovirus, picobirnavirus etc. With the advent of next generation sequencing approaches the list of new enteric viruses has expanded. Viruses like Cyclovirus, Kirkovirus and Anellovirus are the new members identified in equines recently. Close proximity of horses to human settlements and/or other domestic animals pretense the threat of infectious diseases spread to humans/animals and vice-versa. Therefore, horse diseases are not only of veterinary importance but also are among important factors for public health. Herein, we intend to appraise current status of key enteric viruses that cause diarrheic disorders in foals and horses.
