Fifty-six samples of feces and intestinal contents from nonvaccinated diarrheal pigs with rotavirus infections were tested, using a subgroup (SGP)-specific ELISA, to determine rotavirus SGP classification. Forty-one percent (23/56) were SGP 1, 25% (14/56) were SGP 2, and 34% (19/56) were not classifiable. For classifiable samples, the geographic distribution for SGP 1 and SGP 2, respectively was: 60%/40% from Ohio (n = 15), 63%/37% from other midwestern states (Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota: n = 16), and 67%/33% from Canada (n = 6). Thirty-seven SGP-classifiable samples were categorized according to age of pigs. Of pigs less than or equal to 1 week old, 22% of samples were SGP 1 (n = 8), and 14% (n = 5) were SGP 2. Of samples from 1- to 2-week-old pigs, 8% were SGP 1 (n = 3), and 5% were SGP 2 (n = 2). Of samples from 2- to 3-week-old pigs, 5% were SGP 1 (n = 2), and 8% were SGP 2 (n = 3). Of samples from 3- to 4-week-old pigs, 5% were SGP 1 (n = 2), and 3% were SGP 2 (n = 1). Of samples from pigs > 4 weeks old, 22% were SGP 1 (n = 8) and 8% were SGP 2 (n = 3). Double-stranded RNA extracted from positive controls and from 10 selected field samples (5 from SGP 1 and 5 from SGP 2) was electrophoresed in polyacrylamide gels to detect correlation between subgroup classification by ELISA and long or short double-stranded RNA electrophoretic-migration patterns. All SGP-1 and -2 rotavirus samples tested had typical long double-stranded RNA electrophoretic-migration patterns.
