Article Synopsis
  • Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a highly variable virus belonging to the Coronaviridae family, poses significant threats to the poultry industry, particularly with the emergence of a recombinant strain known as ahysx-1 in China.
  • A study analyzed 35,455 chicken samples from 15 provinces, revealing a 2.56% positivity rate, indicating this recombinant IBV is widespread in the region.
  • Genome sequencing of 13 isolates showed high genetic similarity to the original ahysx-1 strain and suggested recombination with viruses from turkey and guinea fowl, highlighting the need for further research on the virus’s pathogenicity and potential impacts on poultry health.

Schisandra chinensis, a traditional Chinese medicine known for its antitussive and sedative effects, has shown promise in preventing various viral infections. Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) is an enveloped DNA virus that causes respiratory disease in cattle, leading to significant economic losses in the industry. Because the lack of previous reports on Schisandra chinensis resisting BoHV-1 infection, this study aimed to investigate the specific mechanisms involved.

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is an RNA virus with envelope that causes acute, febrile, and highly infectious respiratory diseases in cattle. However, the manner and mechanism of BRSV entry into cells remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore the entry manner of BRSV into MDBK cells and its regulatory mechanism.

Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) can infect all breeds of cattle and cause respiratory and genital tract diseases. In the process of viral infection, viruses can use their own proteins to suppress the innate immunity of the host and promote its replication; however, the mechanism by which BoHV-1 evades the innate immune response is not fully understood. In this study, we found that rabbits inoculated with the live gene deletion vaccine BoHV-1-△gI/gE/TK generated higher interferon-β (IFN-β) production in the serum, liver, lung and kidney than rabbits inoculated with wt BoHV-1, which led to milder lesions in the lung and kidney.

Introduction: Three members of (CaPV) genus, including lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), goatpox virus (GTPV), and sheeppox virus (SPPV), are mentioned as notifiable forms by World Organization for Animal Health. These viruses have negatively impacted ruminant farming industry worldwide, causing great economic losses. Although SPPV and GTPV cause more severe clinical disease in only one animal species, they can transfer between sheep and goats.

Senecavirus A (SVA) is the single member of the genus of the family Here, we report a complete genome sequence of SVA strain GX2018-92, which was isolated from an asymptomatic piglet in China. This virus genome consists of 7,280 nucleotides and will be available to further study the epidemiology of porcine SVA.

The complete genome sequence of a field isolate of classical swine fever strain (CSFV), GXF29/2013, was determined in this study. This strain was originally isolated from infected pigs in Guangxi Province, China. The most significant difference in the amino acid sequence of the polyprotein from subgenotypes 2.
