The Getah virus (GETV), a mosquito-borne RNA virus, is widely distributed in Oceania and Asia. GETV is not the only pathogenic to horses, pigs, cattle, foxes and boars, but it can also cause fever in humans. Since its first reported case in Chinese mainland in 2017, the number of GETV-affected provinces has increased to seventeen till now.

- An 8-year-old thoroughbred mare died at an equestrian club in Xinjiang, China, after facing health issues post-foaling.
- Researchers identified a new virus, "kirkovirus Cj-7-7," from the mare's fecal virome, indicating it is related to other known viruses in the Kirkoviridae family.
- The study underscores the genetic variation and spread of Kirkoviruses, highlighting the presence of this specific virus among horses in northern Xinjiang.
In 2015, a novel equine parvovirus, equine parvovirus-cerebrospinal fluid (EqPV-CSF), was identified from cerebrospinal fluid of a horse with neurological signs and lymphocytosis in USA. In our study, an EqPV-CSF-like virus was detected from 15 serum samples of 65 imported thoroughbred horses during custom quarantine in north Xinjiang province, China. Further field investigation in several major horse-producing areas in Xinjiang using specific PCR showed that this virus was detected mainly in thoroughbred horses (39/154 positive) previously imported, not in local breeds (0/127 positive).
