RESUMO
Fourteen cytopathic bovine rotaviruses isolated from naturally affected calves were characterized serologically by serum neutralization. Antisera were prepared in guinea pigs against the three isolates and the Lincoln strain of bovine rotavirus. These four rotaviruses were segregated into at least two distinct serotypes (designated types 1 and 2) by serum neutralization. The remaining 11 isolates were also placed into two groups according to neutralization specificity by using the antisera against types 1 and 2 bovine rotavirus. When colostrum-deprived calves were experimentally inoculated with type 1 or 2 bovine rotavirus, respectively, the calves produced neutralizing antibodies against the inoculated serotype but not against the other serotype. Calf sera obtained from six herds with naturally occurring rotavirus infections possessed neutralizing antibodies against type 1 or 2 or both. Thus, distinct serotypes of bovine rotavirus were demonstrated by serum neutralization. The possible role of serotypes in the epidemiology of rotavirus infection among bovine species is discussed.
