BARBOSA, B. R. P. Characterization and molecular analysis of genes coding for nonstructural proteins 2 and 5 (NSP2 and NSP5) of swine rotavirus. [Caracterização e análise molecular dos genes codificadores das proteínas não estruturais 2 e 5 (NSP2 e NSP5) de rotavírus suínos]. 2013. 101 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências) – Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2013. Rotaviruses are responsible for the occurrence of diarrhea in humans and several other animal species. They are widespread in pig farms, including in Brazil. The non-structural proteins 2 and 5 (NSP2 and NSP5) of rotavirus are involved in viral replication and they are essential for the formation of viroplasm, a cytoplasmic structure within which occurs morphogenesis of new viral particles. However, there are very few studies on the genetic diversity of those proteins in circulating rotavirus in Brazilian swine raisings. So far, nine NSP2 genotypes have been identified (N1 to N9) and eleven for NSP5 (H1 to H11). In humans, genotypes N1, N2, N3 and H1, H2, H3 have been described, whereas in pigs, H1 and N1 have been described. This study is aimed at characterizing circulating samples of rotavirus in terms of diversity of NSP2 and NSP5. For this purpose, a total of 63 fecal samples from pig farms located in six different cities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, were previously screened by nested-PCR technique. Of those, nine had their genomic segments amplified by RT-PCR, and in seven it was possible to obtain the partial nucleotide sequencing for NSP2, whereas in six, the total sequencing for NSP5. All were characterized as genotype H1 and N1. Considering the gene NSP2, the strains’ nucleotide identity, defined herein, ranged from 100% to 86.4% and in terms of amino acids, from 100% to 91.5%. Whereas for NSP5, it was from 100% to 95.1 %, and 100% to 97.4% for nucleotides and amino acids, respectively. It is concluded that the genotypes of the strains circulating in the region of study are in agreement with those reported in literature for swine, and that there is the possibility of interaction between human and animal rotaviruses. These data are useful for a broader surveillance of circulating rotaviruses and contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis, epidemiology and disease prevention, especially in regard to its zoonotic aspect.
