Parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3) was isolated from dairy buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) naturally affected with respiratory and reproductive clinical conditions.Examination of nasal vaginal swabs collected 12 diseased led to the isolation three paramyxovirus isolates two animals. Antigenic, morphological biological characteristics these were essentially similar those members Paramyxoviridae family. Antigenic analysis by direct immunofluorescence cross neutralization test placed together bovine...
Hepatitis E is an acute human liver disease in healthy individuals but may become chronic immunocompromised patients. It caused by the hepatitis virus (HEV) and can have a zoonotic origin, particularly high-income countries. In this study, 383 sera from wild boars were selected for serology; virological analyses, 69 61 livers young used. A total of 189 235 of, respectively, red deer roe collected serological analysis. For 84 68 29 27 from, sampled. An apparent seroprevalence 34% (95% CI...
Perinatal infections with feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) have long been known to be associated cerebellar hypoplasia in kittens due productive infection of dividing neuroblasts. FPV, like other parvoviruses, requires cells replicate which explains the usual tropism for digestive tract, lymphoid tissues and bone marrow older animals. In this study, necropsy histopathological analyses a series 28 cats died from parvovirus 2013 were performed. Infections confirmed by real time PCR...
Between 2006 and 2010, northwestern Europe experienced its first significant bluetongue virus (BTV) outbreak, driven by the spread of BTV-8, which had major repercussions on European livestock sector. While BTV-3 was identified in Italy 2017, a new introduction reported 2023, Netherlands, subsequently rapidly across continent. A limited number outbreaks were notified Belgium leading to loss BTV-free status. In following year, 2024, throughout country short time period. This study describes...
Based on sequencing data, norovirus (NoV) recombinants have been described, but no experimental evidence of recombination in NoVs has documented. Using the murine (MNV) model, we investigated occurrence genetic between two co-infecting wild-type MNV isolates RAW cells. The design a PCR-based genotyping tool allowed accurate discrimination parental genomes and detection viable recombinant (Rec MNV) progeny viruses. Genetic analysis Rec identified homologous-recombination event located at...
Noroviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the family Caliciviridae. They a major cause of epidemic and sporadic gastroenteritis in humans clinical signs lesions were reported bovines. Due their genetic proximity, potential zoonotic transmission or animal reservoir can be hypothesized for noroviruses. RT-PCR has become "gold standard" detection noroviruses faecal environmental samples. With such samples, control inhibition reaction during amplification is crucial avoid false...
Forty-one cattle from seven Belgian farms and two French confirmed as infected with bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV-8) were monitored the onset of clinical signs to describe disease pattern estimate duration blood RT-qPCR competitiveELISA positivity under field conditions. On each visit, samples taken, a standardized form was filled in for animal. A score calculated every week until end signs. classification regression tree (CART) analysis conducted determine most important first 7weeks....
