Canine circovirus (CaCV) is a single-stranded DNA virus that globally circulates in dogs and wild carnivores. Although the pathogenic potential of has not been fully understood yet, CaCV suggested to exacerbate clinical course other canine viral infections but also circulate without signs. In this study, we carried out real-time PCR assays detect enteric pathogens from 156 rectal swabs collected enteritis 3 different regions Iran. A total 14 samples tested positive for full-length genome...
Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a common viral pathogen found in domestic cats. FCV highly contagious and demonstrates high genetic variability. Upper respiratory tract disease, oral ulcerations, salivation, gingivitis-stomatitis have been regarded as typical clinical signs of infection. Ulcerative dermatitis, abortion, severe pneumonia, enteritis, chronic stomatitis, virulent systemic disease reported more sporadically. Limping syndrome has also described either naturally or experimentally...
Replication-associated protein (Rep)-encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA viruses comprise with covalently closed, circular, (ssDNA) genomes, and are considered the smallest known autonomously replicating, capsid-encoding animal pathogens. CRESS (phylum Cressdnaviricota) encompass several viral families including Circoviridae. Circoviruses classified into two genera, Circovirus Cyclovirus, they to cause fatal diseases in birds pigs. have also been identified human stools, blood,...
Equine hepacivirus (EqHV), also known as Hepacivirus A, represents the most closely related genetic homologue of human hepatitis C virus (HCV). Although detected worldwide, limited information on clinical features this infection is available and mechanisms by which EqHV transmitted. In study, we describe a spread that occurred in small stable horses southern Italy. The RNA was 6/13 (46.2%) sera introduced into herd, at different times, over period approximately one year. Based sequencing...
The canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC) is an endemic syndrome caused by different bacterial and viral pathogens. This report describes a case of parainfluenza virus infection in vaccinated household dog with acute symptom (dry cough), who underwent clinical endoscopic investigations for suspected foreign body. Cytological carried out on the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) tested negative presence inflammatory or processes could have been misleading clinicians. By...
Astroviruses have been identified in a wide variety of animal species and are usually associated with enteritis, although pathologies due to extra-intestinal localization known different hosts. We report the detection astroviruses synanthropic squamate reptile (Podercis siculus Tarentola mauritanica). Fecal samples were collected from 100 squamates urban peri-urban areas three regions South Italy tested for presence using broadly reactive (pan-astrovirus) RT-PCR protocol targeting...
