The recent reinforcement of CoV surveillance in animals fuelled by the COVID-19 pandemic provided increasing evidence that mammals other than bats might hide further diversity and play critical roles human infectious diseases. This work describes results a two-year survey carried out Italy with double objective uncovering associated wildlife excluding establishment reservoir for SARS-CoV-2 particularly susceptible or exposed species. targeted hosts from five different orders was harmonised...
In the last decade in Europe, number of autochthonous cases hepatitis E has significantly increased. Most arise from foodborne infections caused by zoonotic virus (HEV) genotypes HEV-3 and HEV-4. Several human have been linked to consumption raw or undercooked animal products both pork (liver sausages) wild boar meat. this study, occurrence HEV infection was investigated 611 livers 88 paired lungs boars collected during hunting seasons 2016-2020 Umbria-Marche Apennines (Central Italy). Using...
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) are viruses that retro-transcribe RNA to DNA and show high rates of genetic variability. SRLV affect animals with strains specific for each host species (sheep or goats), resulting in a series clinical manifestations depending on the virulence strain, host's background farm production system. The aim this work was present an up-to-date overview genomic epidemiology diversity Italy over time (1998-2019). In study, we investigated 219 samples collected from...
(BoAHV-1) infection is common in cattle worldwide. However, information on the spread of BoAHV-1-circulating strains Italy remains limited. In this study, we investigated an outbreak characterized by severe respiratory symptoms a herd (
Abstract Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is an economically significant pathogen in cattle production worldwide. Usually, it detected outbreaks of disease, most often during the winter period. During middle October 2018, a serious outbreak disease occurred farm comprising about 300 heads located Central Italy. The herd was affected by severe flu‐like syndrome unresponsive to any antibiotic treatment. Within 3 weeks, 39 adult animals died, and 12 abortions occurred. Direct indirect...
Paslahepevirus balayani (hepatitis E virus [HEV]) is the causative agent of hepatitis E, a worldwide zoonosis involving wide range hosts among domestic and wild animals. This species characterized by great genomic heterogeneity includes eight genotypes, HEV-1 to HEV-8. The HEV-3 genotype one most common types circulating in Italy humans Suidae. Although Sus scrofa deer (Cervidae) are recognized as main reservoirs HEV, several other potential carriers. A total 228 liver samples were collected...
Bovine kobuvirus (BKV) is an infectious agent associated with neonatal calf diarrhoea (NCD), causing important economic losses to dairy and beef cattle herds worldwide. Here, we present the detection rate characterize genome of BKV isolated from diarrhoeic calves a Central Italy herd. From January December 2021, collected blood samples nasal rectal swabs 66 severe NCD between 3 20 days age. After virological (bovine coronavirus, bovine viral virus, rotavirus), bacteriological (Escherichia...
