Abstract
Rotavirus C (RVC) is a cause of gastroenteritis in swine and has a worldwide distribution. A total of 448 intestinal or faecal samples from pigs of all ages were tested for viruses causing gastroenteritis. RVC was detected in 118 samples (26.3%). To gain information on virus diversity, the complete coding nucleotide sequences of the VP7, VP4, VP6, NSP2, NSP4, and NSP5 genes of seven RVC strains were determined. Phylogenetic analysis of VP7 nucleotide sequence divided studied Czech strains into six G genotypes (G1, G3, G5-G7, and a newly described G10 genotype) based on an 85% identity cutoff value at the nucleotide level. Analysis of the VP4 gene revealed low nucleotide sequence identities between two Czech strains and other porcine (72.2-75.3%), bovine (74.1-74.6%), and human (69.1-69.3%) RVC strains. Thus, we propose that those two Czech porcine strains comprise a new RVC VP4 genotype, P8. Analysis of the VP6 gene showed 79.9-86.8% similarity at the nucleotide level between the Czech strains and other porcine RVC strains. According to the 87% identity cutoff value, we propose the existence of three new RVC VP6 genotypes, I8-I10. Analysis of the NSP4 gene divided porcine RVC strains into two clusters (the E1 genotype and the new E4 genotype, based on an 85% nucleotide sequence identity cutoff value). Our results indicate a degree of high genetic heterogeneity, not only in the variable VP7 and VP4 genes encoding the outer capsid proteins, but also in more-conserved genes encoding the inner capsid protein VP6 and the non-structural proteins NSP2, NSP4, and NSP5. This emphasizes the need for a whole-genome-sequence-based classification system.

Abstract
Group C rotavirus (GCRV) infection has been described in several parts of the world, predominantly as sporadic cases of acute gastroenteritis. Little is known about the yearly changes in the GCRV strains from diarrheal outbreaks. Stool samples collected from outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis in Yokohama, Japan, between 2006 and 2012 that were negative for norovirus, sapovirus, and group A rotavirus, were screened for GCRV using a reverse passive hemagglutination method. The GCRV strains were characterized by nucleotide sequence and phylogenetic analysis of their VP6, VP7, VP4, and NSP4 genes. Samples from nine of 735 outbreaks in Yokohama (1 %) contained GCRV, and eight of these outbreaks occurred in primary schools. The nucleotide sequences of the strains detected in this study were more closely related to Asian strains than to those from other regions of the world. The nucleotide sequences of the VP7 gene in these nine strains differed, and yearly changes were observed in the amino acid sequences of the VP4 genes. Phylogenetic trees constructed using the nucleotide sequences of the VP6, VP7, VP4, and NSP4 genes showed that sublineage S1 has divided into S1-1 and S1-2 in the VP4 gene only. Our results confirm that the prevalent strains of GCRV change yearly in Yokohama. This is the first study to demonstrate GCRV-associated gastroenteritis outbreaks in Yokohama, Japan.

Abstract
Rotavirus C (RVC) has been detected frequently in epidemic cases and/or outbreaks of diarrhoea in humans and animals worldwide. Because it is difficult to cultivate RVCs serially in cell culture, the sequence data available for RVCs are limited, despite their potential economical and epidemiological impact. Although whole-genome sequences of one porcine RVC and seven human RVC strains have been analysed, this has not yet been done for a bovine RVC strain. In the present study, we first determined the nucleotide sequences for five as-yet underresearched genes, including the NSP4 gene, from a cultivable bovine RVC, the Shintoku strain, identified in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan, in 1991. In addition, we elucidated the ORF sequences of all segments from another bovine RVC, the Toyama strain, detected in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, in 2010, in order to investigate genetic divergence among bovine RVCs. Comparison of segmental nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences among RVCs indicates high identity among bovine RVCs and low identity between human and porcine RVCs. Phylogenetic analysis of each gene showed that the two bovine RVCs belong to a cluster distinct from human and porcine RVCs. These data demonstrate that RVCs can be classified into different genotypes according to host species. Moreover, RVC NSP1, NSP2 and VP1 amino acid sequences contain a unique motif that is highly conserved among rotavirus A (RVA) strains and, hence, several proteins from bovine RVCs are suggested to play important roles that are similar to those of RVAs.

Abstract
AIMS Unlike group A, a few studies have interested other groups of the rotavirus, especially in Tunisia. The role of rotavirus C (RVC) infection is underestimated because of its sporadic nature. The aim of our study was to develop rapid diagnostic procedures of RVC by using an internal positive control of reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). METHODS The internal positive control (386pb) was designed from the recombinant baculovirus BacVP6C containing the full length cDNA of the Cowden strain gene 5 (1353pb). A fragment of 596pb was amplified by PCR using the BacVP6C DNA ds as template. Then, a central part of 210pb was deleted and the remaining fragment (386pb) was cloned into pGEM-3Zf(+) plasmid between SP6 and T7 RNA polymerase promoters. RESULTS The obtained recombinant plasmid "pIAM1" was then used for the generation of the internal positive control by in vitro transcription. The sensibility of the RT-PCR was about 3.66×10(5) molecules of RNA/μl. CONCLUSION The use of a shorter positive control, as compared to the wild type, allows increased specificity of the RT-PCR reaction, and could be used for efficient diagnostic and surveillance of RVC-caused diseases.

Abstract
Group C rotaviruses (GCRVs) cause acute diarrhea in humans and animals worldwide and the evidence for a possible zoonotic role of GCRVs has been recently provided. However, there is little evidence of porcine GCRV infections or of their genetic diversity in South Korea. We examined 137 diarrheic fecal specimens from 55 farms collected from six provinces. RT-PCR utilizing primer pairs specific for the GCRV VP6 gene detected GCRV-positive reactions in 36 (26.2%) diarrheic fecal samples. Of these, 17 samples (12.4%) tested positive for porcine GCRVs alone and 19 samples (13.8%) were also positive for other pathogens. Other enteric pathogens except for GCRV were detected in 64 feces samples (46.7%) and no enteric pathogens were evident in 37 feces samples (27.0%). Phylogenetic and sequence homology analyses of GCRV partial VP6 gene between 23 Korean and other known porcine GCRVs demonstrated that Korean strains belonged to the porcine lineage. Furthermore, one Korean porcine strain shared the highest nucleotide (89.7–89.0%) and deduced amino acid sequence (92.9–93.9%) identities with bovine GCRV strains and was placed in the bovine GCRV lineage indicative of bovine origin. In conclusion, porcine GCRV infections are widespread in piglets with diarrhea in South Korea. The infecting porcine GCRVs mostly belong to the porcine lineage with the exception of one bovine-like GCRV, which possibly originated from bovine GCRV due to interspecies transmission.
