The recent emergence of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Europe has become a new public health risk for monitoring of wild and farmed cervids. This disease, due to prions, has proliferated in North America in a contagious manner. In several mammalian species, polymorphisms in the prion protein gene (PRNP) play a crucial role in the susceptibility to prions and their spread.

Article Synopsis
- Parapoxvirus infections are often overlooked zoonoses, causing oral lesions in ruminants and can be transmitted directly or indirectly to humans through contact with infected animals or contaminated items.
- The virus shows no significant symptoms in many infected animals, complicating detection and emphasizing the need for a "One Health" approach to address both human and veterinary health.
- In immunocompetent humans, the lesions can self-resolve within 2 months, while immunocompromised individuals may require medical interventions such as antiviral treatments or surgery.

Zoonotic hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is an emerging cause of acute viral hepatitis in developed countries. Known reservoirs of zoonotic genotype 3 (HEV-3) are mainly pigs and wild boar, and to a lesser extent rabbits and deer. Rabbit hepatitis E virus (HEV-3ra) is prevalent in rabbits worldwide and represents a particular risk for zoonotic infection.

The use of high-throughput sequencing has facilitated virus discovery in wild animals and helped determine their potential threat to humans and other animals. We report the complete genome sequence of a novel picornavirus identified by next-generation sequencing in faeces from Australian fallow deer. Genomic analysis revealed that this virus possesses a typical picornavirus-like genomic organisation of 7554 nt with a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding a polyprotein of 2225 amino acids.

The mountain chain of the Alps, represents the habitat of alpine fauna where the red deer () population is the outmost numerous, followed by the chamois () and the alpine ibex () at higher altitudes. Previous reports showed the circulation of epitheliotropic viruses, belonging to the families and , causing skin and mucosal lesions in wild ruminants of the Stelvio National Park, situated in the area. To deepen our knowledge on the natural dynamics of the infections, a passive surveillance on all the cases of proliferative skin and mucosal lesions in wild ruminants was performed.
