Ten young dogs were experimentally infected twice with different isolates of bovine rotavirus and 2 uninfected dogs were kept in contact with them. None of the animals developed diarrhoea, but all of them excreted rotavirus in their faeces over a period of up to 10 days after each inoculation, as shown by counterimmunoelectro-osmophoresis and virus isolation. Dogs may thus play a role in the epizootiology of rotavirus diarrhoea in calves. Seroconversion occurred in 6 of the 10 infected dogs but in neither of the 2 contact controls.
十只幼犬用不同的牛轮状病毒分离株进行了两次实验性感染，并让两只未感染的狗与它们接触。所有动物均未出现腹泻，但在每次接种后的长达10天内，通过对流免疫电渗析和病毒分离显示，它们的粪便中均排出了轮状病毒。因此，狗可能在犊牛轮状病毒腹泻的动物流行病学中起作用。10只感染狗中有6只发生了血清转化，但2只接触对照狗均未发生。
