Ocurrence of rotavirus and picobirnavirus in wild and exotic avian from amazon forest.

The present study reports the occurrence of rotavirus A (RVA), rotavirus D (RVD), rotavirus F (RVF), rotavirus G (RVG), and picobirnavirus (PBV) in fecal specimens of wild (n = 22), and exotic birds (n = 1) from different cities of Pará state. These animals were hospitalized at Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Pará, Brazil, in a period from January 2018 to June 2019. The animals exhibited different clinical signs, such as diarrhea, malnutrition, dehydration, and fractures.

First Whole-Genome Characterization of Avian Nephritis Virus 2 of Broiler Chicken from Pará, Brazil.

Our results show the first full-genome characterization of avian nephritis virus 2 recovered from stools of broiler chickens at a commercial farm located in Benevides, Pará, Brazil. Nucleotide analyses of whole-genome sequences showed the isolate to be a strain of in the family .

A Proposed New Strain of Avian Picornavirus in Broiler Chicken from Brazil.
