A SYBR Green-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was designed to detect Ungulate copiparvovirus 2, also known as porcine parvovirus 4 (PPV4). The test was applied to search for PPV4 DNAemia in sera from 1- to 4-month-old pigs displaying signs of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), as well as in sera from healthy swine at equivalent age and in sera from older healthy animals (>6 months old). High levels of PPV4 DNA were detected in PMWS-affected pigs. The mean viral DNA load in PMWS-affected pigs was 5.2 × 10 copies/mL, whereas in young healthy pigs it was 1.4 × 10 copies/mL (P ≤ 0.001). Although the copy numbers were lower in younger PMWS-affected individuals, this result sheds some light on the possible association between PPV4 viral load detection in this group and the immune impairment caused by PMWS.

Tetraparvovirus is an emerging parvovirus infecting a variety of mammals and humans, and associated with human diseases including severe acute respiratory infection and acute encephalitis syndrome. In the present study, a Tetraparvovirus ungulate 1 (formerly known as bovine hokovirus) strain HNU-CBY-2023 was identified and characterized from diseased Chinese Simmental from Hunan province, China. The nearly complete genome of HNU-CBY-2023 is 5346 nt in size and showed genomic identities of 85-95.

Porcine Parvovirus (PPV) is one of the most important infectious agents causing severe reproductive failure in pigs. In the last two decades a particular, a novel genotype emerged in Europe and PPV-27a was named as the prototype of this genetic cluster. It was suggested that members of the PPV-27a cluster may adversely influence effective vaccination against PPV.

Bocaviruses are associated with many human infectious diseases, such as respiratory tract infections, gastroenteritis, and hepatitis. Rats are known to be reservoirs of bocaviruses, including rodent bocavirus and rat bocavirus. Recently, ungulate bocaparvovirus 4, a known porcine bocavirus, has also been found in rats.

We used viral metagenomics and next-generation sequencing to identify a novel strain of bocaparvovirus in the intestinal tract of tufted deer (Elaphodus cephalophus), tentatively named "Elaphodus cephalophus bocaparvovirus" (ECBOV). A nearly complete genome sequence of 5,354 nucleotides was obtained, which had the typical genome organization and protein motifs of a bocaparvovirus. Sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis revealed that ECBOV may be a new ungulate bocaparvovirus.

Since 2001, strains of porcine parvovirus (PPV), designated 27a-like strains, were observed in Europe, suggesting a predominance of these viruses over older strains. The reasons for the obvious evolutionary advantage are unknown. Here, a series of mutants containing amino acid replacements found in the predominant field strains were generated in a PPV-NADL2 background, and their impact on replication efficiency and antibody binding activity was determined.
