Rotavirus is an enteritis causing pathogen in neonatal calves. A total number of 175 neonatal enteric calves were clinically examined.
Their feces were sampled to rapidly serotested for Rotavirus detection. The clinical findings on Rotavirus diarrheic calves were
anorexia, weakness, arched back with straining during defecation, variable degree of dehydration. Feces were pasty yellowish with
and/or without flakes of clotted blood. Body temperature, respiratory and heart rates were varying. The collected fecal samples were
serotested by Latex agglutination test (LAT) and Immunochromatographic assay (ICA). Results of LAT and ICA indicated that the positive
samples of Rotavirus infection were 9.68% and 8.54%, respectively. It is concluded that Rotavirus infection plays an outstanding
role in enteritis of neonatal calves of Assiut Governorate and control measures should be attained. LAT and ICA are effortlessly field
serotests in screening of Rotavirus infection in diarrheic neonatal calves.
