Abstract

Neonatal calf diarrhoea of rotaviral origin is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality posing a serious threat to the dairy industry. In the present study, a total of 70 faecal samples were collected from buffalo calves up to one month of age and screened for rotavirus infection by RNA-PAGE and DAS-ELISA. Of 70 diarrhoeic faecal samples tested by RNA-PAGE, 15 (21.42%) were positive for rotavirus and 17 (24.28%) by DAS-ELISA. All the 15 samples found positive by RNA-PAGE were also found positive by DAS-ELISA, indicating that detection of rotavirus type-A in faecal samples by DAS-ELISA is more sensitive than RNA-PAGE.
