Abstract
The incidence of rotaviruses in calves, foals, dogs and cats in the Dunedin urban and rural areas was investigated using electron microscopy and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Of the 283 faecal specimens examined, 26% were positive for rotavirus. Comparison of the genetic electropherotypes was made by separating the viral dsRNA segments using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It is possible that rotavirus infection is a zoonotic disease.Keywords
