Abstract

To determine the prevalence of bovine rotavirus Infection in Chungbuk area, fecal specimen were collected from calves nth diarrhea and tested using ELISA. The positive rates were 53.8%(1 to 30days old), 19.0%(31 to 60days old), and 3.2%(over 60days old). Electrophoretic migration patterns of genomic RNA from field isolates were similar to that of NCDV strain, prototype of bovine rotavirus. Bovine rotavirus field isolate showed characteristic morphology of rotavirus particle with 80nm in diameter, using EM.
