Abstract
Rotaviruses cause diarrhoea in cattle, buffaloes, horses, sheep, goats, pigs and, poultry which poses great loss in livestock and meat industry. Rotavirus is classified under the family Reoviridae and having “cartwheel” shaped morphology. Due to segmented nature of the Rotavirus RNA genome and wide host range, vast genetic and antigenic diversity exists amongst different isolates of Rotavirus many different types are circulating in particular geographic location, it causes annual loss of approximately $9.5 million USD worldwide. In horses, the frequency of detection of rotaviruses in clinical cases varies and they appear to be endemic many parts of the world. Rotavirus infection in poultry causes clinical signs like diarrhoea, dehydration, anorexia, loss of weight gain, nutrient malabsorption, and runting and stunting syndrome.
