Rotavirus is one of the leading causes of acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children.
RVAs infect not only humans but also a wide range of mammals including rats, which
represent a reservoir of several other zoonotic pathogens. Due to the segmented nature of
the RVA genome, animal RVA strains can easily adapt to the human host by reassortment
with co-infecting human viruses. This study aims to detect and characterize RVA in the
intestinal content of Italian sinantropic rats (Rattus rattus). Out of 40 samples examined …
