Since 2013, group A rotavirus strains characterized as novel DS-1-like inter-genogroup reassortant ‘equine-like G3’ strains have emerged and spread across five continents among human populations in at least 14 countries. Here we report a novel one-step TaqMan quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay developed to genotype and quantify the viral load for samples containing rotavirus equine-like G3 strains. Using a universal G forward primer and a newly designed reverse primer and TaqMan probe, we developed and validated an assay with a linear dynamic range of 2.3 × 10 9 – 227 copies per reaction and a limit of detection of 227 copies. The percent positive agreement, percent negative agreement, and precision of our assay were 100.00%, 99.63%, and 100.00%, respectively. This assay can simultaneously detect and quantify the viral load for samples containing DS-1-like inter-genogroup reassortant equine-like G3 strains with high sensitivity and specificity, faster turnaround time, and decreased cost and will be valuable for high-throughput screening of stool samples collected to monitor equine-like G3 strain prevalence and circulation among human populations throughout the world.
