Article Synopsis
- Influenza D virus (IDV), found first in 2011 in pigs in the U.S., is part of the Orthomyxoviridae family and primarily affects cattle, which are its natural reservoir.
- A study conducted in South Korea in 2022 found IDV viral RNA in 1.4% of cattle tested, while none was detected in pigs, indicating a low prevalence in the region.
- The seroprevalence results showed 54.7% of cattle and 1.4% of pigs had antibodies for IDV, marking the first detection of the virus and its antibodies in South Korea.
Rabies has been reported in dogs, cattle, and raccoon dogs in Korea, especially in the provinces of Gyeonggi and Gangwon. The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of the rabies in wild Korean raccoon dogs by using 50 blood samples collected in Gyeonggi and Gangwon provinces. Antibodies against rabies were measured by using a fluorescent antibody virus neutralization test.
