“…RVA infections rarely cause severe disease in cats and are often not properly diagnosed. However, animal rotaviruses have the potential to reassort with human strains [50]; In addition, there is strong evidence of the zoonotic potential of feline RVA strains, so RVA infections in cats must be given due consideration according to the extensive contact between humans and cats [16]. Our study, one of the first molecular prevalence research investigating the presence of RVA in cats in the Campania region and in Italy, revealed a prevalence of 11.4% (16/140, 95% CI 6.16-16.7), which is higher than that observed in a study of a cat population in the United Kingdom (3.0%, 57/1.72) and in other work performed in the past using different diagnostic techniques [17].…”

“…Rotavirus, a species of the Reoviridae family, is an important pathogen that causes acute diarrhea in young animals of many species, including humans. Rotaviruses include 12 species (A-L), and to date, species A (RVA) is the most commonly detected in cats [16]. For these animals, RVA plays a minor role in clinical disease, and there is no routine screening for diarrheal manifestations in veterinary studies of small animals [17].…”

“…[46][47][48] This suggests that the RVA strains currently circulating in Brazil are characterized by an equinelike G3 lineage backbone, with only the VP7 gene undergoing monoreassortment with a feline-like G6. A survey conducted among pet, sheltered, and stray cats in Brazil during 2018-2019 detected RVA in 12.6% (13/103) of cases, 49 indicating an environment conducive to reassortment between feline RVA and human RVA. Like the global spread of the equine-like G3 strain in humans after its first detection in Australia in 2013, 43,[50][51][52] vigilance is required to monitor the potential future spread of feline-like G6 strains among humans.…”
