Whole-genome characterization and zoonotic insights of feline rotavirus A genotypes G3P[9] and novel G6P[9] circulating in domestic cats in Thailand
This study reports the first detection of the novel FeRVA genotype G6P[9] in Thailand and provides comprehensive genomic evidence of FeRVA diversity in domestic cats. The close genetic relationship between Thai-FeRVA strains and human RVA strains highlights the potential for interspecies transmission. Enhanced surveillance and One Health-based monitoring are recommended to improve early detection and prevent zoonotic spread.
