TLDR
In 2011, a group A rotavirus was isolated from the brain of a fox with encephalitis and neurologic signs, detected by rabies surveillance in Italy, which could provide a model for investigating rotvirus neurovirulence.
Abstract
In 2011, a group A rotavirus was isolated from the brain of a fox with encephalitis and neurologic signs, detected by rabies surveillance in Italy. Intracerebral inoculation of fox brain homogenates into mice was fatal. Genome sequencing revealed a heterologous rotavirus of avian origin, which could provide a model for investigating rotavirus neurovirulence.

A novel group A rotavirus associated with acute illness and hepatic necrosis in pigeons (Columba livia), in Australia.

TL;DR: Episodes of disease have continued to occur and to reoccur in previously recovered lofts, with variable virulence reported, the first report of a rotavirus associated with hepatic necrosis in any avian species.

Group A Rotavirus VP1 Polymerase and VP2 Core Shell Proteins: Intergenotypic Sequence Variation and In Vitro Functional Compatibility.

TL;DR: This work delineated the relationships and sites of variation for VP1 and VP2 proteins belonging to the known RVA genotypes and correlate intergenotypic sequence diversity with functional VP1-VP2 interaction(s) during dsRNA synthesis.

OUP accepted manuscript

- 28 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , the nearly complete genome of an RVA strain from a common shrew (Sorex araneus) was sequenced, which showed high nucleotide sequence similarity to additionally determined partial sequences from common shrew RVAs but only very low identity (below 68 per cent) to RVAs from other animal species and humans.

A Remarkable Genetic Diversity of Rotavirus A Circulating in Red Fox Population in Croatia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revealed the prevalence, molecular epidemiology, and genetic diversity of RVA strains circulating in the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) population in Croatia, where 370 fecal samples from fox carcasses hunted for rabies monitoring were collected.

TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products as mentioned in this paper.

Zoonotic aspects of rotaviruses

TL;DR: Genetic heterogeneity in the 11 double stranded RNA segments across different rotavirus strains has provided evidence for frequent intersections between the evolution of human and animal rotaviruses, as a result of multiple, repeated events of interspecies transmission and subsequent adaptation.

Comparison of Flavivirus Universal Primer Pairs and Development of a Rapid, Highly Sensitive Heminested Reverse Transcription-PCR Assay for Detection of Flaviviruses Targeted to a Conserved Region of the NS5 Gene Sequences

TL;DR: It was confirmed that the sequenced amplified products in the NS5 region allowed predictability of flavivirus species by dendrogram, including the New York 99 West Nile strain.

Pathogenesis of Intestinal and Systemic Rotavirus Infection

TL;DR: Rotaviruses are responsible for significant gastrointestinal disease, primarily in children <5 years of age and the young of other mammalian species.

Detection of Canine Distemper Virus Nucleoprotein RNA by Reverse Transcription-PCR Using Serum, Whole Blood, and Cerebrospinal Fluid from Dogs with Distemper

TL;DR: Although the sensitivity of the RT-PCR for detection of CDV is strongly influenced by the location of the selected primers, this nucleic acid detection system represents a highly specific and sensitive method for the antemortem diagnosis of Distemper in dogs, regardless of the form of distemper, humoral immune response, and viral antigen distribution.
