Parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV-3) can infect a wide variety of mammals including humans, domestic animals, and wild animals. In the present study, bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV-3) was isolated from nasal swabs of Egyptian cattle presenting with clinical signs of mild pneumonia. The virus was isolated in Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells and confirmed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The complete genome of Egyptian BPIV-3 strain was sequenced by using next generation (Illumina) sequencing. The new isolate classified with genotype A of BPIV-3 and was closely related to the Chinese NM09 strain (JQ063064). Subsequently in 2015-16, a molecular surveillance study was undertaken by collecting and testing samples from cattle and buffaloes with respiratory tract infections. The survey revealed a higher rate of BPIV-3 infection in cattle than in buffaloes. The infection was inversely proportional to the age of the animals and to warm weather. This report should form a basis for further molecular studies on animal viruses in Egypt.

Background: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, was first documented in Japan in January 2020. We previously reported an increased risk of rhinovirus infections among children during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we assessed the impact of COVID-19 on respiratory virus infections after SARS-CoV-2 spread nationwide.

Ferlaviruses have been associated with significant mortality events in squamates. Over a 5-month period in 2012, a mortality event at the Phoenix Zoo involved seven rattlesnakes (), a Sonoran gopher snake (fi), and a Gila monster (). All individuals had been managed within the same group of enclosures at the zoo, and many of the affected individuals had previously been housed together.

Vaccinating African wild dogs () against canine distemper virus (CDV) using live attenuated vaccines (LAV) has been controversial because of limitations in the vaccines' effectiveness and safety. However, CDV is a significant pathogen for African wild dogs, and CDV LAV are currently the only vaccines readily available on the African continent, making them a crucial tool for conservation. There are few studies exploring immunogenicity of CDV LAV, and even less information pertaining to optimal vaccination protocols.

The co-detection of SARS-CoV-2 variant with other respiratory virus has been extensively investigated. However, conclusive evidence remains elusive and conflicted. This study investigated the source- and age-dependent prevalence, incidence, and co-detection of multiple viral infections in children younger than 18 years old who presented with clinical symptoms indicative of respiratory infections during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
