“…Infectious diarrhoea may be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa or helminth parasites, but the first two of these are probably the most important. The major enteric viral pathogen of the young of mapy species is rotavirus (Cilli and Castrucci 1981) and an increasing number of reports, worldwide, suggest that this may be true also in foals. Clinically, rotavirus infection may be mild to severe, the more severe disease occurring in younger foals.…”

“…Our study on this topic began with the publication in 1981 of a review on neonatal diarrhea in animals caused by viral agents [1]. In that article the variotis aspects of the disease from etiologic, pathogenetic and immunological points of view, were considered as well as for each viral infection the respective clinical-induced condition was also reported.…”

This presentation summarizes the results of a comprehensive study on rotaviruses isolated in Italy from calves and rabbits affected by neonatal diarrhea. The results clearly indicated that rotavirus infection is widespread and supported the evidence for an etiologic role of these viruses in neonatal diarrhea. The evidence of differences in virulence among bovine rotaviruses appeared also to be confirmed. Conventionally reared calves were fully susceptible to the experimental infection induced by three rotaviruses originating from heterologous hosts, i.e. monkeys, pigs and rabbits, respectively. When rotavirus strains of bovine, simian, porcine and rabbit origin were compared by cross neutralization tests, it was found the simian and porcine strains were indistinguishable and both appeared to relate antigenically to the bovine strain. On the other hand, a reciprocal antigenic correlation was found between bovine and rabbit isolates. Finally, it was proven that feeding newborn calves with colostrum of their dams, previously vaccinated with an inactivated rotavirus vaccine, could prevent the neonatal diarrhea from occurring.

Three rotavirus strains of bovine, simian and porcine origin, respectively, were compared. The 3 viruses induced a classic rotaviral infection in newborn, conventionally reared calves. The cross neutralization tests revealed an antigenic identity of simian and porcine rotaviruses and a slight serologic correlation of these two viruses with the bovine rotavirus strain. However, in reciprocal cross protection tests carried out in calves, the simian rotavirus antiserum afforded weak protection to challenge infection with either the porcine or the bovine viruses. By contrast, the protective level of the bovine and the porcine rotavirus antisera was relatively high. It was speculated that the 81/36F bovine rotavirus could be considered, tentatively, as an antigenic reassortant rotavirus strain.
