| Abstract: | The electrophoretic migration patterns of the double-stranded RNA genome segments of equine rotaviruses closely resembled the usual pattern described for other mammalian rotaviruses. However, in a direct comparison of one equine isolate with the genome of the simian rotavirus SA 11, variations in the mobility of seven “corresponding” segments were observed. Similarly, comparisons made between various different equine rotavirus isolates showed minor but consistent variations in the electrophoretic mobility of some segments. The application of RNA electrophoresis to epidemiological studies of rotavirus strains is discussed. |
