Article Synopsis
- Eight porcine parvovirus species (PPV1 to PPV8) exist, but there's limited knowledge about their distribution and genetic differences, prompting this study.
- Comprehensive genome analysis of PPVs from Colombia and GenBank data was conducted, involving the collection of sera from 234 gilts and extensive sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.
- The study found that PPV3 was the most prevalent, with significant genetic differences identified among PPV species, contributing to better understanding and classification of these viruses in Colombian pig herds.
Since starts the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic identified the presence of genomic fragments of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in various environmental matrices: domestic sewage, surface waters, and contaminated freshwater. Environmental monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 is a tool for evaluating trend curves over the months, compared to several clinical cases of the disease. The objective of this study was to monitor the SARS-CoV-2 in environmental samples collected in different sites in a metropolitan area of Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil.

We monitored severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA in raw wastewater samples from Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil. The samples were collected and analyzed every week between May 2020 to May 2021.
