Rotavirus in Calves and Its Zoonotic Importance

Figure 1

Diagrammatic representation of the rotavirus particle and its genome coding. (I) The migration pattern of 11 dsRNA genome segments of rotavirus on a polyacrylamide gel. (II) Virus proteins encoded by specific genome segments in Section 1. The proteins were blotted onto a cellulose membrane and detected with rotavirus-specific antibodies. (III) Schematic diagram of rotavirus particle showing the cross section arrangement of viral proteins through the three capsid layers namely: outer (VP4, red; VP7, yellow), inner (VP6, blue) and the inner core (VP2, green).
