Two independent isolates of an unusual type of rotavirus were obtained from over 900 faecal samples obtained from piglets with diarrhoea. Genome profiles, containing eleven segments, were not characteristic of group A electropherotypes and corresponded to an atypical virus. The profiles were, however, distinct from those of other previously described atypical porcine rotaviruses. Serological comparisons showed that the two isolates were related, but unrelated to other known groups of porcine rotavirus. The new isolates were passaged in gnotobiotic piglets in which they caused mild clinical signs of enteritis. A survey of porcine sera from the United Kingdom indicated a widespread distribution of antibody to this virus in pigs aged 10 weeks and over.
从900多份腹泻仔猪的粪便样本中获得了两株不寻常类型的轮状病毒独立分离株。含有11个片段的基因组图谱并非A组电泳型的特征，与一种非典型病毒相对应。然而，这些图谱与先前描述的其他非典型猪轮状病毒的图谱不同。血清学比较表明，这两株分离株相关，但与其他已知的猪轮状病毒组无关。新分离株在无菌仔猪中传代，在这些仔猪中引起了轻度肠炎临床症状。对来自英国的猪血清进行的一项调查表明，10周龄及以上猪体内针对这种病毒的抗体广泛分布。
