Abstract in Portuguese
Um total de 144 amostras fecais colhidas de leitões com diarréia provenientes de diversas granjas distribuídas por 10 municípios do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, foram examinadas para a presença de rotavírus através de eletroforese em gel de poliacrilamida e ELISA, num esquema de triagem em paralelo. Destas, 24 e 39 amostras foram, respectivamente, positivas por estes testes e a caracterização dos genotipos P e G foi realizada em 43 amostras por nested RT-PCR, usando diferentes conjuntos de primers. Utilizando-se primers animais, o genotipo P[6] foi o mais freqüente, detectado em 25,58% das amostras, seguido pelo P[1] (11,62%) e P[7] (9,3%). Infecção concomitante de genotipos P[6]+P[7] (9,3%), P[1]+P[6] (4,65%), P[1]+P[6]+P[7] (2,32%) foi também observada. O genotipo G[5] foi o mais freqüente, detectado em 30,23% das amostras, seguido pelo G[10] (20,93%) e G[6] (4,65%). Infecção concomitante de genotipos G[5]+G[10] (18,6%) foi também observada. Utilizando-se primers humanos, somente o genotipo P[6] (65,11%) foi encontrado. Foram detectados os genotipos G[4] (27,9%), G[3] (13,95%) nas amostras, e as infecções concomitantes G[3]+G[4] (9,3%), G[2]+G[3]+G[4] (4,65%) e G[2]+G[3] (2,32%). A combinação mais freqüente foi G[5]P[6] e G[4]P[6], porém foram encontradas também infecções mistas, genotipos atípicos e reassortants. O seqüenciamento do gene a partir dos produtos de nested PCR dos genotipos animais P e G mostrou diversidade de nucleotídeos e aminoácidos dentro de um mesmo genotipo. As árvores filogenéticas utilizando o critério de maxima parcimônia e o algoritmo branch-and-bound, tiveram topologias nas quais as seqüências de nucleotídeos geradas neste trabalho concordam com as outras descritas anteriormente e pertencentes a um mesmo genotipo, suportadas por índices aceitáveis de "bootstrap". Os resultados deste estudo, além de contribuir para um melhor entendimento da epidemiologia dos rotavírus suínos, é relevante ao mostrar que além de haver uma diversidade de genotipos circulantes no campo, há também dentro dos mesmos genotipos, e isto deve ser considerado ao se utilizar e desenvolver métodos de diagnóstico, bem como ao se adotarem medidas preventivas específicas contra esta doença.

Abstract in English
A total of 144 fecal specimens collected from piglets with diarrhea from many swine-producing units distributed among 10 municipalities of São Paulo State, Brazil, were examined for rotavirus by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and ELISA, in a parallel screening scheme. Twenty-four and thirty-nine samples, respectively, were positive by these tests and the characterization of the P and G genotypes was performed on 43 samples by a nested reverse transcription-PCR typing assay, using different sets of primers. Using the animal set of primers, the P[6] genotype was the most frequent, accounting for viruses in 25.58% of the samples, followed by P[1] (11.62%) and P[7] (9.3%). Concomitant infection of P[6]+P[7] (9.3%), P[1]+P[6] (4.65%), P[1]+P[6]+P[7] (2.32%) genotypes was also observed. The G[5] genotype was the most frequent, accounting for viruses in 30.23% of the samples, followed by G[10] (20.93%) and G[6] (4.65%). Concomitant infection of G[5]+G[10] (18.6%) genotypes was observed. Using human set of primers, only the P[6] (65.11%) genotype was found. It was detected the genotypes G[4] (27.9%), G[3] (13.95%) on the samples. Concomitant infection of the genotypes G[3]+G[4] (9.3%), G[2]+G[3]+G[4] (4.65%) and G[2]+G[3] (2.32%) was also observed. The more frequent combination were G[5]P[6] and G[4]P[6], but it was found mixed infections, atypical genotypes and reassortants. Gene sequencing of nested products of G and P animal genotypes showed a diversity of nucleotides and aminoacids under the same genotype. The phylogenetic trees for P and G genotypes under the maximum parsimony criterion, using the branch-and-bound algorithm, had topologies in which the nucleotide sequences generated by this work agree to others described elsewhere that have the same genotypes, supported by acceptable scores of bootstrapping. The results of the present study, while contributing to a better understanding of epidemiology of porcine rotaviruses, address the relevance that there is not only a diversity of genotypes circulating on the field, but inside the same genotypes, and this must be considered when using and developing diagnostic tests, as well when carrying out specific preventive measures against this disease.
