A rapid and highly sensitive method for detecting hog cholera virus (HCV) based on a reverse transcription of the polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is developed. Primers complementary to the most homologous sites of virus genome in an area coding the precursor for glycoproteins gp44/gp48 are selected. Detection of the virus in pathological material by the RT-PCR showed that use of these primers in amplification allows detection of different HCV strains.

The first marine pestivirus, Phocoena pestivirus (PhoPeV), isolated from harbor porpoise, has been recently described. To further characterize this unique pestivirus, its host cell tropism and growth kinetics were determined in different cell lines. In addition, the interaction of PhoPeV with innate immunity in porcine epithelial cells and the role of selected cellular factors involved in the viral entry and RNA replication of PhoPeV were investigated in comparison to closely and distantly related pestiviruses.

Histone lysine lactylation (Kla) has recently been reported to participate in various biological processes, regulating transcription, inflammation, and immune-related diseases. However, the mechanism of histone Kla in innate immunity and viral infection remains largely unknown. Here, we observed fluorescent Kla signals in all four histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) in PK-15 cells.

A novel classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strain GNU-240601 was identified from a commercial live Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) vaccine. The whole-genome sequence of GNU-240601 shared the highest similarity with strains belonging to subgenotype 1.1.

Peccaries (collared peccary-CP-and white-lipped peccary-WLP) are an essential source of protein and income for rural communities in the Amazon region. Since 1980s, researchers in the Amazon have reported recurrent local disappearances of WLP populations. Although such disappearances impact the species conservation and the food security of rural societies, no studies have drawn consistent conclusions about the causes of these population collapses.

Some viruses can suppress superinfections of their host cells by related or different virus species. The phenomenon of superinfection exclusion can be caused by inhibiting virus attachment, receptor binding and entry, by replication interference, or competition for host cell resources. Blocking attachment and entry not only prevents unproductive double infections but also stops newly produced virions from re-entering the cell post-exocytosis.
