RNA viruses can recombine their genetic material during co-infection. However, the in vivo frequency of co-infections is unclear. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Erickson et al. (2018) demonstrate that an enteric RNA virus concentrates itself through multi-virion binding to bacteria, thus increasing genetic recombination and virus adaptability.

Introduction: China implemented a dynamic zero-COVID strategy to curb viral transmission in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This strategy was designed to inhibit mutation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19. This study explores the dynamics of viral evolution under stringent non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) through real-world observations.

Acute gastroenteritis (AG) is a major illness in early childhood. Recent studies suggest a potential association between human bocavirus (HBoV) and AG. HBoV, a non-enveloped virus with a single-strand DNA genome, belongs to the Parvoviridae family.

Bivalve molluscs are filter-feeding organisms, capable of concentrating pathogenic microorganisms from the surrounding environment, thus contributing to the spread of viral pathogens, which they can transmit to humans, especially if eaten raw or undercooked. Although norovirus (NoV) and the hepatitis A virus (HAV) are considered the most common causes of foodborne infections, in recent years, other viruses with a zoonotic potential have been identified in shellfish, such as the hepatitis E virus (HEV), astrovirus (AsV), and aichi virus (AiV). The aim of the study was to investigate the presence of classical and emerging pathogenic enteric viruses in oysters () and mussels () from a mollusc farming area in the northwest of Italy, between April 2022 and March 2023.

Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious virus that causes severe hemorrhagic enteritis and myocarditis, posing a major threat to the life and health of dogs. The molecular mechanism by which VP2, the major capsid protein of CPV, infects host cells and utilizes host cell proteins for self-replication remains poorly understood. In this study, 140 host proteins specifically binding to CPV VP2 protein were identified by immunoprecipitation combined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Background: Rotavirus (RV) and Adenovirus (AdV) gastroenteritis affect children worldwide. The sensitivity and specificity of the AMP Rapid Test ROTA/ADENOVIRUS [AMP-RA] for the detection of RV and AdV were compared against qPCR Allplex™ GI-Virus Assay [Allplex-GI].
Methods: A cross-sectional hospital-based surveillance study was conducted using stool samples from 1,148 patients under the age of five years between July 2023 and May 2024 with gastroenteritis.
