We detected Chuzan virus (CHUV) in domestic yaks from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, western China, indicating CHUV probably has been transmitted to yaks in recent years. Awareness for CHUV surveillance and transmission and livestock health management in these special regions should be raised to avoid outbreaks and animal loss.

Genetic Characterization of Palyam Serogroup Viruses Isolated in Japan from 1984 to 2018 and Development of a Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for Broad Detection of Palyam Serogroup Viruses and Specific Detection of Chuzan (Kasba) and D'Aguilar Viruses.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers sequenced the genomes of 15 strains of Palyam serogroup virus (PALV) from cattle and biting midges in Japan, revealing multiple virus types including Chuzan (CHUV) and D'Aguilar virus (DAGV).
- The analysis showed that Japanese Marrakai virus (MARV) strains from 1997 are genetically related to both Australian PALVs and other Japanese strains, indicating these MARV strains are reassortants between different viral lineages.
- A new real-time PCR assay was developed for detecting PALV, and it successfully identified the DAGV gene in bovine stillborn fetuses, marking a significant first in identifying PALV in this context outside of Australia and Africa

Akabane virus (AKAV), Aino virus, Peaton virus, Sathuperi virus, and Shamonda virus are arthropod-borne viruses belonging to the order Elliovirales, family Peribunyaviridae, genus Orthobunyavirus. These viruses cause or may cause congenital malformations in ruminants, including hydranencephaly, poliomyelitis, and arthrogryposis, although their pathogenicity may vary among field cases. AKAV may cause relatively severe congenital lesions such as hydranencephaly in calves.

Article Synopsis
- - Whole-genome sequencing of a virus from biting midges in Japan identified it as a strain of Balagodu virus (BLGV), related to Orthobunyavirus.
- - This virus was previously isolated only once in India in 1963, and the Japanese strain shows complete protein-coding sequences similar to other viruses in the same family.
- - The study enhances our understanding of BLGV's geographic distribution and offers a complete genomic sequence, aiding in the classification of related viruses.
Congenital malformations caused by Akabane virus in porcine fetuses in southern Japan.

Akabane virus (AKAV) is known as a major teratogenic agent of ruminant fetuses. In this study, we investigated the relationship between porcine abnormal deliveries and AKAV by serology, pathology, and virology investigations using specimens from 16 stillborn fetuses delivered in southern Japan between 2013 and 2015. The major clinical manifestations in stillborn fetuses were hydranencephaly, arthrogryposis, spinal curvature, and both skeletal muscle and subcutaneous edema.

Here, we report the complete genome sequences of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) virus serotypes 5 (EHDV-5) and 6 (EHDV-6) isolated in the Yaeyama Islands of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. The EHDV-5 strain, ON-11/E/16, which was isolated in 2016, is, to our knowledge, the second EHDV-5 strain to be isolated after the first was isolated in Australia in 1977. In each of the genome segments, ON-11/E/16 was most closely related to EHDV strains of different serotypes isolated in Australia and Japan.
