Occurrence of single and mixed rotavirus infections in large-scale pig farms in Russia

Key Points

• Single and mixed rotavirus infections were detected in pig farms, indicating significant health risks.
• The study revealed that mixed infections occurred in 37% of sampled farms, predominantly in specific geographic areas.
• Assessment using epidemiological data from large-scale pig farms demonstrates varied viral load levels among different genotypes.
• Findings suggest that improving biosecurity measures is critical for controlling rotavirus spread in swine populations.
