Abstract
Group A rotaviruses are a well-known cause of viral gastroenteritis in infants and children, as well as in many mammalian species and birds, affecting them at a young age. This group of viruses has a double-stranded, segmented RNA genome with high genetic diversity linked to point mutations, recombination, and, importantly, reassortment. While initial molecular investigations undertaken in the 1900s suggested host range restriction among group A rotaviruses based on the fact that different gene segments were distributed among different animal species, recent molecular surveillance and genome constellation genotyping studies conducted by the Rotavirus Classification Working Group (RCWG) have shown that animal rotaviruses serve as a source of diversification of human rotavirus A, highlighting their zoonotic potential. Rotaviruses occurring in various animal species have been linked with contributing genetic material to human rotaviruses, including horses, with the most recent identification of equine-like G3 rotavirus A infecting children. The goal of this article is to review relevant information related to rotavirus structure/genomic organization, epidemiology (with a focus on human and equine rotavirus A), evolution, inter-species transmission, and the potential zoonotic role of equine and other animal rotaviruses. Diagnostics, surveillance and the current status of human and livestock vaccines against RVA are also reviewed.

Abstract
Among the different analytical techniques, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) approach is a widely used technique for the detection and analysis of various chemicals and biological samples. Present study reports a low-cost, sensitive SERS substrate that has an ability to detect rotavirus in clinical stool samples. The proposed SERS substrate has been fabricated through drop-casting of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on a printing-grade paper. Rotavirus particles were extracted from clinical stool samples. The presence of rotavirus antigen in stool samples was confirmed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and sequencing. The characteristic Raman peaks of rotavirus (RV) particles in solution were found to be significantly enhanced when Raman signals were recorded from the paper-based SERS substrates. Using the proposed SERS substrate, rotavirus samples with concentration as low as 1% could be reliably recorded by the Raman spectrometer. The paper SERS substrate reported herein is an extremely cost-efficient platform and may find applications in other research and clinical laboratories as well.

Development and performance evaluation of an In-House ELISA for the detection of group A rotavirus in diarrheal stool samples from children and domestic South American camelids. J Virol Methods 2022; 301:114453. [PMID: 34990641 DOI: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2021.114453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2021] [Revised: 12/07/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
Group A rotavirus (RVA) is a prevalent pathogen causing acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in young children and animals. We developed an in-house ELISA (ROTA-GeFeK) for RVA detection, based on the expression of native recombinant VP6 protein in E. coli. To detect the RVA antigen, rabbit polyclonal IgG antibodies, produced against rVP6,were used as capture and detector antibodies in a sandwich ELISA. To validate the ROTA-GeFeK, 252 stool samples from children with AGE, were evaluated by conventional RT-PCR and commercial ELISA. Compared to RT-PCR, the ROTAGeFeK had a sensitivity of 88.2 % and a specificity of 94.4 %. Total detection rates with the ROTA-GeFeK, commercial ELISA and RT-PCR were 58 %, 58 % and 64 % respectively. The limit of detection was equal to 2.1 × 10 4 CCID 50 of the RVA strain RIX4414. No cross-reactivity with other enteric pathogens was observed. The RVApositive samples detected by the assay belonged to a diversity of G and [P] genotypes.This assay displayed reactivity and was proved to be useful for the detection of RVA in diarrheal samples of domestic South American Camelids. We suggest that the ROTAGeFeK can be used as an epidemiologic tool for rotavirus surveillance and for RVA detection in other animal species.

Abstract
A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunochromatographic assay (ICA) has been developed for rapid, ultrasensitive, and quantitative detection of rotavirus in feces using double Raman molecule-labeled Au-core Ag-shell nanoparticles. The Raman signals are generated by 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) and the intensity of the characteristic peak at 1334-1 cm was detected as the analytical signal. The Raman signals were enhanced by the SERS-enhanced effect of both Au and Ag, the large amount of Raman molecules, and the hot-spot effect in the narrow gap between the Au core and Ag shell. The SERS ICA can quantitatively detect rotavirus in a concentration range of 8- 40,000 pg/mL, with detection limits of 80 pg/mL and 8 pg/mL based on naked eye observation and SERS signal detection, respectively. No cross-reaction was observed from other common pathogens. The standard deviation of the intra- and inter-batch repetitive tests is less than 10%, and the coincidence between SERS ICA and RT-qPCR as well as commercial colloidal gold ICA is 100%. The results indicated that this SERS ICA is able to quantitatively detect rotavirus in feces in 20 min with high sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility, and accuracy and might be a promising method for the early detection of rotavirus in clinical analysis.

Abstract
Because of their replication mode and segmented dsRNA genome, homologous recombination is assumed to be rare in the rotaviruses. We analyzed 23,627 complete rotavirus genome sequences available in the NCBI Virus Variation database, and found 109 instances of homologous recombination, at least eleven of which prevailed across multiple sequenced isolates. In one case, recombination may have generated a novel rotavirus VP1 lineage. We also found strong evidence for intergenotypic recombination in which more than one sequence strongly supported the same event, particularly between different genotypes of segment 9, which encodes the glycoprotein, VP7. The recombined regions of many putative recombinants showed amino acid substitutions differentiating them from their major and minor parents. This finding suggests that these recombination events were not overly deleterious, since presumably these recombinants proliferated long enough to acquire adaptive mutations in their recombined regions. Protein structural predictions indicated that, despite the sometimes substantial amino acid replacements resulting from recombination, the overall protein structures remained relatively unaffected. Notably, recombination junctions appear to occur nonrandomly with hot spots corresponding to secondary RNA structures, a pattern seen consistently across segments. In total, we found strong evidence for recombination in nine of eleven rotavirus A segments. Only segments 7 (NSP3) and 11 (NSP5) did not show strong evidence of recombination. Collectively, the results of our computational analyses suggest that, contrary to the prevailing sentiment, recombination may be a significant driver of rotavirus evolution and may influence circulating strain diversity.

Abstract
The applications of correct diagnostic approaches play a decisive role in timely containment of infectious diseases spread and mitigation of public health risks. Nevertheless, there is a need to update the diagnostics regularly to capture the new, emergent, and highly divergent viruses. Acute gastroenteritis of viral origin has been identified as a significant cause of mortality across the globe, with the more serious consequences seen at the extremes of age groups (young and elderly) and immune-compromised individuals. Therefore, significant advancements and efforts have been put in the development of enteric virus diagnostics to meet the WHO ASSURED criteria as a benchmark over the years. The Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent (ELISA) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are the basic assays that provided the platform for development of several efficient diagnostics such as real-time RT-PCR, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), polymerase spiral reaction (PSR), biosensors, microarrays and next generation sequencing. Herein, we describe and discuss the applications of these advanced technologies in context to enteric virus detection by delineating their features, advantages and limitations.

Development and evaluation of a one-step multiplex real-time TaqMan ® RT-qPCR assay for the detection and genotyping of equine G3 and G14 rotaviruses in fecal samples. Virol J 2019; 16:49. [PMID: 31023319 PMCID: PMC6482509 DOI: 10.1186/s12985-019-1149-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2018] [Accepted: 03/20/2019] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Equine rotavirus A (ERVA) is the leading cause of diarrhea in neonatal foals and has a negative impact on equine breeding enterprises worldwide. Among ERVA strains infecting foals, the genotypes G3P[12] and G14P[12] are the most prevalent, while infections by strains with other genomic arrangements are infrequent. The identification of circulating strains of ERVA is critical for diagnostic and surveillance purposes, as well as to understand their molecular epidemiology. Current genotyping methods available for ERVA and rotaviruses affecting other animal species rely on Sanger sequencing and are significantly time-consuming, costly and labor intensive. Here, we developed the first one-step multiplex TaqMan® real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay targeting the NSP3 and VP7 genes of ERVA G3 and G14 genotypes for the rapid detection and G-typing directly from fecal specimens. METHODS A one-step multiplex TaqMan® RT-qPCR assay targeting the NSP3 and VP7 genes of ERVA G3 and G14 genotypes was designed. The analytical sensitivity was assessed using serial dilutions of in vitro transcribed RNA containing the target sequences while the analytical specificity was determined using RNA and DNA derived from a panel of group A rotaviruses along with other equine viruses and bacteria. The clinical performance of this multiplex assay was evaluated using a panel of 177 fecal samples and compared to a VP7-specific standard RT-PCR assay and Sanger sequencing. Limits of detection (LOD), sensitivity, specificity, and agreement were determined. RESULTS The multiplex G3 and G14 VP7 assays demonstrated high specificity and efficiency, with perfect linearity. A 100-fold difference in their analytical sensitivity was observed when compared to the singleplex assays; however, this difference did not have an impact on the clinical performance. Clinical performance of the multiplex RT-qPCR assay demonstrated that this assay had a high sensitivity/specificity for every target (100% for NSP3, > 90% for G3 VP7 and > 99% for G14 VP7, respectively) and high overall agreement (> 98%) compared to conventional RT-PCR and sequencing. CONCLUSIONS This new multiplex RT-qPCR assay constitutes a useful, very reliable tool that could significantly aid in the rapid detection and G-typing of ERVA strains circulating in the field.
