Abstract

Rotavirus is a major pathogen responsible for diarrheal disease in calves resulting in loss of productivity and economy of farmers. However, various facets of diarrheal disease caused by rotavirus in calves in world are inadequately understood. Considering that diarrheal disease caused by rotavirus is a vital health problem in calves that interrupts production benefits with reduced weight gain and increased mortality, and it’s potential for zoonotic spread. The pathological changes that made by rotavirus are almost exclusively limited to the small intestine that leads diarrhea. It is environmentally distributed worldwide and was extensively studied. Re-assortment is one of the important mechanisms for generating genetic diversity of rotaviruses and eventually for viral evolution. So, primary strategy to reduce the burden of rotavirus infections by practicing early colostrum’s feeding in newborn calves, using vaccine, and improving livestock management. Therefore, this review was made to get overview epidemiology status and zoonotic importance of bovine rotavirus.
