Abstract
The spread of bovine rotavirus has a great impact on animal productivity, milk products, and human public health. Thus, this study aimed to develop a novel, effective and accessible Phyto-antiviral treatment made from methanolic Ammi-visnaga seed extract against rotavirus infection. Rotaviruses were isolated from raw milk and cottage cheese samples randomly collected from Cairo and Qalubia governorates. They were all identified serologically, however, only three of them were both biologically and molecularly confirmed. The methanolic extract derived from Khella seeds (MKSE) was chemically analyzed with mass chromatography. The cellular toxicity of MKSE was tested on Caco-2 cells and its antiviral activity against one of the isolated bovine rotaviruses (BRVM1) was tested by both the cytopathic inhibition assay and the plaque reduction assay. Our results showed that 17.3% of the total collected 150 dairy samples were bovine rotavirus antigen positive. Three representatives of them were phylogenetically identified to be included in group A based on a 379 bp coat protein gene. Visnagin, Benzopyran, Khellin, and Benzenepropanoic acid were the major active components found in the MKSE. The maximum non-toxic concentration of MKSE was 5 µg/mL and the CC50 value was 417 µg/mL. The MKSE exhibited in-vitro antiviral activity against BRVM1 indicated by inhibition of the viral cytopathic effect (SI = 204.5, IP = 98%), causing a 1.5 log decrease in BVRM1 TCID50 and reducing the viral plaques count by the percentage of 93.14% at MNTC (5 ug/ml). In conclusion, our study showed that bovine rotavirus represents a severe health problem that needs attention in Egypt, and it supports using MKSE as a potential natural anti-rotavirus agent.

Abstract
Bovine rotavirus (BRV) is one of main pathogens responsible for diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. In this study, we developed a colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip for detecting BRV according to the principle of double-antibody sandwich. The monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) were prepared and purified. On the strip, the purified mAbs labeled with the colloidal gold were used as the detector, and the goat anti-mouse antibodies and purified pAbs were coated on the nitrocellulose membranes as the control line and the test line, respectively. We optimized different reaction conditions, including the amount of mAbs, the pH of colloidal gold solution, coating solution, blocking solution, sample pad treatment solution, antibody concentration in control line, and antibody concentration in detection line. In specificity assay, the strip had high specificity in detecting BRV. No cross-reaction was observed in detecting other viruses. The detection sensitivity of the strip was found to be 1 × 103 TCID50/0.1 mL. Two hundred twenty clinical samples were detected with the strip compared to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. No false-negative or false-positive results were found, and the results obtained by the two methods were similar. In conclusion, we developed a novel immunochromatographic strip to rapidly detect BRV. The strip developed exhibited high sensitivity and specificity for BRV detection. It could be a rapid, convenient, and effective method for the rapid diagnosis of BRV infection in the fields.

Diversity in VP3, NSP3, and NSP4 of rotavirus B detected from Japanese cattle. INFECTION GENETICS AND EVOLUTION 2017; 49:97-103.

Abstract
Bovine rotavirus B (RVB) is an etiological agent of diarrhea mostly in adult cattle. Currently, a few sequences of viral protein (VP)1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 and nonstructural protein (NSP)1, 2, and 5 of bovine RVB are available in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases, and none have been reported for VP3, NSP3, and NSP4. In order to fill this gap in the genetic characterization of bovine RVB strains, we used a metagenomics approach and sequenced and analyzed the complete coding sequences (CDS) of VP3, NSP3, and NSP4 genes, as well as the partial or complete CDS of other genes of RVBs detected from Japanese cattle. VP3, NSP3, and NSP4 of bovine RVBs shared low nucleotide sequence identities (63.3-64.9% for VP3, 65.9-68.2% for NSP3, and 52.6-56.2% for NSP4) with those of murine, human, and porcine RVBs, suggesting that bovine RVBs belong to a novel genotype. Furthermore, significantly low amino acid sequence identities were observed for NSP4 (36.1-39.3%) between bovine RVBs and the RVBs of other species. In contrast, hydrophobic plot analysis of NSP4 revealed profiles similar to those of RVBs of other species and rotavirus A (RVA) strains. Phylogenetic analyses of all gene segments revealed that bovine RVB strains formed a cluster that branched distantly from other RVBs. These results suggest that bovine RVBs have evolved independently from other RVBs but in a similar manner to other rotaviruses. These findings provide insights into the evolution and diversity of RVB strains.

Abstract
Intestinal barrier dysfunction is associated with chronic gastrointestinal tract inflammation and diseases such as IBD and IBS. Serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin/protein isolate (SBI) is a specially formulated protein preparation (>90%) for oral administration. The composition of SBI is greater than 60% immunoglobulin including contributions from IgG, IgA, and IgM. Immunoglobulin within the lumen of the gut has been recognized to have anti-inflammatory properties and is involved in maintaining gut homeostasis. The binding of common intestinal antigens (LPS and Lipid A) and the ligand Pam3CSK4, by IgG, IgA, and IgM in SBI was shown using a modified ELISA technique. Each of these antigens stimulated IL-8 and TNF-α cytokine production by THP-1 monocytes. Immune exclusion occurred as SBI (≤50 mg/mL) bound free antigen in a dose dependent manner that inhibited cytokine production by THP-1 monocytes in response to 10 ng/mL LPS or 200 ng/mL Lipid A. Conversely, Pam3CSK4 stimulation of THP-1 monocytes was unaffected by SBI/antigen binding. A co-culture model of the intestinal epithelium consisted of a C2BBe1 monolayer separating an apical compartment from a basal compartment containing THP-1 monocytes. The C2BBe1 monolayer was permeabilized with dimethyl palmitoyl ammonio propanesulfonate (PPS) to simulate a damaged epithelial barrier. Results indicate that Pam3CSK4 was able to translocate across the PPS-damaged C2BBe1 monolayer. However, binding of Pam3CSK4 by immunoglobulins in SBI prevented Pam3CSK4 translocation across the damaged C2BBe1 barrier. These results demonstrated steric exclusion of antigen by SBI which prevented apical to basal translocation of antigen due to changes in the physical properties of Pam3CSK4, most likely as a result of immunoglobulin binding. This study demonstrates that immunoglobulins in SBI can reduce antigen-associated inflammation through immune and steric exclusion mechanisms and furthers the mechanistic understanding of how SBI might improve immune status and reduce inflammation in various intestinal disease states.

Abstract
The occurrence of group B rotavirus (RVB) infections in pigs has been reported from different parts of world. However, such infection in the pig population maintained in Indian farms has not been investigated as yet. A total of 187 faecal specimens were collected from pigs reared in different pig farms/pigsties located in western and northern regions of India and tested for the presence of porcine RVB by amplification of the NSP2 gene using conventional RT-PCR. Nine specimens (4.8%) were shown to contain RVB RNA. N2 and N4 genotypes of NSP2 gene were detected in three and six RVB strains respectively. VP7 (G-type) and NSP5 (H-type) genes of selected six RVB strains were characterized to identify the genotypes. Multiple G (G7, G19 and G20) and H (H4 and H5) genotypes detected in the RVB strains indicated circulation of heterogeneous population of RVB strains in pigs of India. Additionally, one strain was proposed to belong to a novel RVB genotype designated as G21 on account of <80% identity of VP7 gene sequence with its counterpart in RVB strains from 20 established genotypes. Deduced amino acid sequence of VP7 gene also displayed the presence of seven unique substitutions in the strain. The study reports for the first time the occurrence of RVB infections in Indian pig herds and provides important epidemiological data useful for better understanding of ecology and evolution of porcine RVBs.

Abstract
Rotavirus (RV) being the major diarrhoegenic virus causes around 527000 children death (<5years age) worldwide. In cellular environment, viruses constantly adapt and modulate to survive and replicate while the host cell also responds to combat the situation and this results in the differential regulation of cellular proteins. To identify the virus induced differential expression of proteins, 2D-DIGE (Two-dimensional Difference Gel Electrophoresis) based proteomics was used. For this, HT-29 cells were infected with RV strain SA11 for 0 hours, 3 hours and 9 hours post infection (hpi), differentially expressed spots were excised from the gel and identified using MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. 2D-DIGE based proteomics study identified 32 differentially modulated proteins, of which 22 were unique. Some of these were validated in HT-29 cell line and in BALB/c mice model. One of the modulated cellular proteins, calmodulin (CaM) was found to directly interact with RV protein VP6 in the presence of Ca2+. Ca2+-CaM/VP6 interaction positively regulates RV propagation since both CaM inhibitor (W-7) and Ca2+ chelator (BAPTA-AM) resulted in decreased viral titers. This study not only identifies differentially modulated cellular proteins upon infection with rotavirus in 2D-DIGE but also confirmed positive engagement of cellular Ca2+/CaM during viral pathogenesis.

Abstract
Rotavirus (RV) is an important cause of gastrointestinal disease in animals and humans. In this study, we developed an RT-PCR to detect RV group B (RVB) and characterized the VP7 (G) gene segment detected in porcine samples. One hundred seventy three samples were tested for RV group A (RVA), RVB, and C (RVC) by RT-PCR and examined for RV-like lesion using histopathology. A majority (86.4%) of the samples had mixed RV infections and co-infections of RVA/RVB/RVC were detected at a higher rate (24.3%) than previously reported. RVB was identified in 46.8% of the 173 samples. An adapted VP7 classification was developed using previously published (n=57) and newly sequenced (n=68) RVB strains, resulting in 20 G genotypes based on an 80% nucleotide identity cutoff value. Our results revealed a broad genetic diversity of porcine RVB strains, suggesting RVB has been the cause of common/pre-existing, yet undiagnosed, disease in pigs.

Abstract
Background Bovine rotavirus (BRV) infection is common in young calves. This viral infection causes acute diarrhea leading to death. Rapid identification of infected calves is essential to control BRV successfully. Therefore development of simple, highly specific, and sensitive detection method for BRV is needed. Results A reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed and optimized for rapid detection of BRV. Specific primer sets were designed to target the sequences of the VP6 gene of the neonatal calf diarrhea virus (NCDV) strain of BRV. The RT-LAMP assay was performed in a water bath for 60 minutes at 63°C, and the amplification products were visualized either directly or under ultraviolet light. This BRV specific RT-LAMP assay could detect 3.32 copies of subtype A BRV. No cross-reactions were detected with other bovine pathogens. The ability of RT-LAMP to detect bovine rotavirus was further evaluated with 88 bovine rectal swab samples. Twenty-nine of these samples were found to be positive for BRV using RT-LAMP. The BRV-specific-RT-LAMP results were also confirmed by real-time RT-PCR assay. Conclusions The bovine rotavirus-specific RT-LAMP assay was highly sensitive and holds promise as a prompt and simple diagnostic method for the detection of group A bovine rotavirus infection in young calves.

Abstract
Porcine rotavirus B (RVB) has frequently been detected in diarrhoea of suckling and weaned pigs. Moreover, epidemiological studies using ELISA have demonstrated high antibody prevalence in sera from sows, indicating that RVB infections are widespread. Because it is difficult to propagate RVBs serially in cell culture, genetic analysis of RNA segments of porcine RVBs other than those encoding VP7 and NSP2 has been scarcely performed. We conducted sequence and phylogenetic analyses focusing on non-structural protein 1 (NSP1), using 15 porcine RVB strains isolated from diarrhoeic faeces collected around Japan. Sequence analysis showed that the porcine NSP1 gene contains two overlapping ORFs. Especially, peptide 2 of NSP1 retains highly conserved cysteine and histidine residues among RVBs. Comparison of NSP1 nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences from porcine RVB strains demonstrated low identities to those from other RVB strains. Phylogenetic analysis of RVB NSP1 revealed the presence of murine, human, ovine, bovine and porcine clusters. Furthermore, the NSP1 genes of porcine RVBs were divided into three genotypes, suggesting the possibility that porcine species might be an original host of RVB infection. Of nine strains common to those used in our previous study, only one strain was classified into a different genotype from the others in the analysis of VP7, in contrast to the analysis of NSP1, where all belonged to the same cluster. This fact suggests the occurrence of gene reassortment among porcine RVBs. These findings should provide more beneficent information to understand the evolution and functions of RVBs.

Abstract
Group B rotaviruses (RV-B) were first identified in piglet feces, being later associated with diarrhea in humans, cattle, lambs, and rats. In human beings, the virus was only described in China, India, and Bangladesh, especially infecting adults. Only a few studies concerning molecular analysis of the RV-B NSP2 gene have been conducted, and porcine RV-B has not been characterized. In the present study, three porcine wild-type RV-B strains from piglet stool samples collected from Brazilian pig herds were used for analysis. PAGE results were inconclusive for those samples, but specific amplicons of the RV-B NSP2 gene (segment 8) were obtained in a semi-nested PCR assay. The three porcine RV-B strains showed the highest nucleotide identity with the human WH1 strain and the alignments with other published sequences resulted in three groups of strains divided according to host species. The group of human strains showed 92.4 to 99.7% nucleotide identity while the porcine strains of the Brazilian RV-B group showed 90.4 to 91.8% identity to each other. The identity of the Brazilian porcine RV-B strains with outer sequences consisting of group A and C rotaviruses was only 35.3 to 38.8%. A dendrogram was also constructed to group the strains into clusters according to host species: human, rat, and a distinct third cluster consisting exclusively of the Brazilian porcine RV-B strains. This is the first study of the porcine RV-B NSP2 gene that contributes to the partial characterization of this virus and demonstrates the relationship among RV-B strains from different host species.

Abstract
Evaluation of: Yamamoto D, Ghosh S, Ganesh B et al.: Analysis on genetic diversity and molecular evolution of human group B rotaviruses based on whole genome segments. J. Gen. Virol. 91(Pt 7), 1772–1781 (2010). Rotaviruses are members of the Reoviridae family, causing severe diarrheal illness and death in humans and animals. They have been subdivided into at least seven serological groups (A–G), and, recently, a new rotavirus known as ‘new adult diarrhea virus’ or ADRV-N was discovered. Only in group A rotaviruses have a substantial number of strains been analyzed completely on the molecular level. For groups B, C and ADRV-N rotaviruses a very limited number of complete genomes are available, and for group D, E and F no sequence data are available at all. Here, Yamamoto and colleagues describe the full genomic characterization of four human group B rotaviruses isolated in India, Bangladesh and Myanmar. These four strains were analyzed phylogenetically and individual gene segments were compared with their group A and C counterparts, indicating that functionally important motifs and structural characteristics were conserved. This study, together with others, highlights the need for complete genome analysis of rotaviruses, in order to study their genetic evolution, the occurrence of reassortments, crossing of the host-species barrier and their classification. Upcoming new mass sequencing technologies are expected to speed up the process of filling in the gaps in our data.

Abstract
Porcine enteric sapovirus (PES) has been shown to cause diarrhea under experimental conditions in gnotobiotic piglets. However, the role of PES as enteric pathogens in porcine farms remains unclear. To further understand the PES-host interactions under field conditions, a serological survey was carried out. To this end the capsid gene of a PES isolate was cloned in the baculovirus expression system and an ELISA was developed based on virus-like particles from the baculovirus-expressed PES capsid protein. A total of 85 serum samples collected from pigs ranging from 8 weeks to over 54 weeks of age were analyzed. An overall seroprevalence to PESs of 62% was found, with significant differences (p<0.05) found between ages. Pigs younger than 10 weeks old and older than 12 weeks old showed high seroprevalences (70-100%), while pigs aged 10-12 weeks showed no detectable serum antibodies levels. Our results suggest that PES infections are common in pigs and that passively acquired maternal antibodies are soon replaced by actively acquired antibodies, whose titers increase gradually with age and that probably are maintained during lifetime.

Abstract
Group B rotavirus (GBR) is a rare enteric pathogen that causes severe diarrhoea, primarily in adults. Nearly full-length sequences of all 11 RNA segments were determined for human GBRs detected recently in India (IDH-084 in 2007, IC-008 in 2008), Bangladesh (Bang117 in 2003) and Myanmar (MMR-B1 in 2007), and analysed phylogenetically with the sequence data of GBRs reported previously. All RNA segments of GBR strains from India, Bangladesh and Myanmar showed >95 % nucleotide sequence identities. Among the 11 RNA segments, the VP6 and NSP2 genes showed the highest identities (>98 %), whilst the lowest identities were observed in the NSP4 gene (96.1 %), NSP5 gene (95.6 %) and VP8*-encoding region of the VP4 gene (95.9 %). Divergent or conserved regions in the deduced amino acid sequences of GBR VP1-VP4 and NSP1-NSP5 were similar to those in group A rotaviruses (GARs), and the functionally important motifs and structural characteristics in viral proteins known for GAR were conserved in all of the human GBRs. These findings suggest that, whilst the degree of genetic evolution may be dependent on each RNA segment, human GBR may have been evolving in a similar manner to GAR, associated with the similar functional roles of individual viral proteins.

Abstract
We determined the nucleotide sequences of the outer capsid glycoprotein (VP7) genes of 38 porcine group B rotaviruses (GBRs) from feces of pigs at 27 farms in Japan between 2000 and 2007. Substantial diversity among porcine GBR VP7 genes was observed, with up to 42.4% difference in nucleotides and 49.8% in amino acids. On comparison of VP7 genes, porcine GBRs were clearly distinct from the published corresponding genes from human, bovine and murine GBRs (53.7-70.8% identity in nucleotides and 45.8-73.4% identity in amino acids). Phylogenetic analysis showed that the VP7s of GBRs could be divided into five genotypes: the murine strain was genotype 1, human strains were genotype 2, bovine and some porcine strains were genotype 3, and other porcine strains belonged to genotype 4 or 5. In addition, GBR VP7s in genotypes 3 and 5 were further divided into four and five clusters, respectively. No relationship between VP7 genotype and double-stranded RNA migration patterns of porcine GBRs in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were observed. However, an antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using antiserum to recombinant bovine GBR VP6 did not react with fecal samples containing one cluster of genotype 5 of porcine GBRs. The abundant divergence of porcine GBR VP7 genes suggests that porcine species might be an original natural host of GBR infection and that different serotypes might exist among porcine GBRs. To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe the gene sequences and typing of porcine GBR VP7s.

Abstract
During a surveillance study (2003-2005) in a cattle market in Kolkata city, state of West Bengal, Eastern India, 34 (13.0%) of 260 calves with diarrhoea were positive for group B rotaviruses (GBR) by RNA electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. Analysis of the partial VP7 gene sequence of 28 of the 34 GBR strains revealed maximum identities (97.7-99.5% at nucleotide level and 97.8-100% at amino-acid level) with the novel bovine GBR 'Kolkata strains' reported in an earlier surveillance study (1.5%, n=192, 2001-2002) from the same cattle market, and shared low identities of 73.7-78.9% and 80.8-89.6%; 62.6-66.2% and 59.8-65.4%; 58.9-62.2% and 48.6-54.9% at nucleotide and amino-acid level with other bovine, human, and murine GBR. The GBR-infected calves were traced to districts in neighbouring states of West Bengal. Therefore, the present study reports a rapid increase in prevalence (13.0% in 2003-2005 against 1.5% in 2001-2002) of novel GBR strains among calves with diarrhoea, and provides evidence for interstate transmission of GBR.

Abstract
Genome sequences from several blood borne and respiratory viruses have recently been recovered directly from clinical specimens by variants of a technique known as sequence‐independent single primer amplification. This and related methods are increasingly being used to search for the causes of diseases of presumed infectious aetiology, but for which no agent has yet been found. Other methods that do not require prior knowledge of the genome sequence of any virus that may be present in the patient specimen include whole genome amplification, random PCR and subtractive hybridisation and differential display. This review considers the development and application of these techniques. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
