Rotavirus (reovirus-like) infection of neonatal ruminants in a zoo nursery

AK Eugster, J Strother, and DA Hartfiel


ABSTRACT

An outbreak of a pneumoenteric disease occurred in neonates in a zoo nursery. Four of seven affected animals died. Rotaviruses were observed in the feces of an affected 4-day old impala (Aepyceros melampus), a Thomson's gazelle (Gazella thomsonii) and an addax (Addax nasomaculatus). Encapsulated Escherichia coli also were isolated from the feces. The recovered rotaviruses was antigenically related to bovine rotavirus. A bovine rotavirus vaccine was given orally and no adverse effects were noted.
