Studies were performed to evaluate the potential use of the bovine RIT 4237 rotavirus strain as a vaccine candidate against infection with human rotaviruses. Initial experiments revealed that colostrum-deprived piglets were susceptible to infection with several human strains, except for those belonging to subgroup 1. Subsequently, different immunization procedures with RIT 4237 were studied in this animal model. It was found that a two-dose administration, either given intramuscularly (twice) or once intramuscularly and once intragastrically, was necessary to induce a significant serum antibody response. Finally, the protective effect of the latter vaccination schedules against subgroup 2 and 3 rotavirus strains of human origin was evaluated by artificial challenge. In both cases, prior administration of live RIT 4237 significantly decreased fecal shedding of the challenge virus when compared with control animals.
