Genetic analyses of the structural protein E2 bovine viral diarrhea virus isolated from dairy cattle in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Background And Aim: Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), a highly pathogenic ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus, causes devastating financial losses and reproductive deaths among dairy cattle in Yogyakarta and globally. This study aimed to identify point mutations within the E2 structural protein of the acquired BVD virus (BVDV) isolates using genetic analysis.

Materials And Methods: The study period shows that we performed the research in 2023.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Clade 2.3.4.4b in Domestic Ducks, Indonesia, 2022.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.

Genetic analysis of African swine fever viruses based on E183L (p54) gene, circulating in South Sumatra and Lampung province, Indonesia.

Background And Aim: African swine fever (ASF) is a disease that emerged in Indonesia in 2019 in the North Sumatra province and spread rapidly to other areas, such as South Sumatra and Lampung, in 2020. This study aimed to identify the phylogenetics of the ASF virus (ASFV) in the provinces of South Sumatra and Lampung.

Materials And Methods: Nine ASFV isolates collected from the Disease Investigation Center in Lampung were used in this study.

Prognostic factors for the outcomes of COVID-19 patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Delta variants.

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has replaced the previously dominant Delta variant because of high transmissibility. However, studies on the impact of the Omicron variant on the severity of COVID-19 are still limited in developing countries. Our study aimed to determine the prognostic factors for the outcomes of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Delta variants, including age, sex, comorbidities, and smoking.

First study on genetic variability of bovine viral diarrhea virus isolated from Sapera dairy goats with reproductive disorders in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Background And Aim: Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) virus (BVDV) is an important viral pathogen of cattle that can infect diverse artiodactyl species. The clinical manifestations caused by BVDV in heterologous hosts, as they do in cattle, vary, although respiratory and reproductive failures are commonly reported. BVDV infections commonly result in reproductive failure in goats, with abortion being the primary clinical sign.
