Picornaviruses infect a wide range of mammals including livestock such as cattle and swine. As with other picornavirus genera such as Aphthovirus, there is emerging evidence of a significant economic impact of livestock infections caused by members of the genera Enterovirus and Kobuvirus. While the human-infecting enteroviruses and kobuviruses have been intensively studied during the past decades in great detail, research on livestock-infecting viruses has been mostly limited to the genomic characterization of the viral strains identified worldwide. Here, we extend our previous studies of the structure and function of the complexes composed of the non-structural 3A proteins of human-infecting enteroviruses and kobuviruses and the host ACBD3 protein and present a structural and functional characterization of the complexes of the following livestock-infecting picornaviruses: bovine enteroviruses EV-E and EV-F, porcine enterovirus EV-G, and porcine kobuvirus AiV-C. We present a series of crystal structures of these complexes and demonstrate the role of these complexes in facilitation of viral replication.

Background: Periodic bioinformatics-based screening of wastewater for assessing the diversity of potential human viral pathogens circulating in a given community may help to identify novel or potentially emerging infectious diseases. Any identified contigs related to novel or emerging viruses should be confirmed with targeted wastewater and clinical testing.
Results: During the COVID-19 pandemic, untreated wastewater samples were collected for a 1-year period from the Great Lakes Water Authority Wastewater Treatment Facility in Detroit, MI, USA, and viral population diversity from both centralized interceptor sites and localized neighborhood sewersheds was investigated.

Article Synopsis
- Livestock is key for food security and the economy, but viral infections can harm cattle health and pose risks to human and animal health, making virus identification critical for prevention and control.
- The study focused on characterizing viral communities in cattle fecal samples from Ubaté Province, Colombia, using advanced metagenomic sequencing techniques.
- Findings showed a stable viral composition dominated by Picornaviridae family members, with significant discoveries of viruses like Enterovirus E and Bovine Astrovirus, marking the first report of certain veterinary-important viruses in Colombia.
Diversity of picornaviruses detected in diarrheal samples from children in Belém, Brazilian Amazon (1982-2019).

In this investigation, fecal specimens from children with diarrhea were collected from four community studies conducted between 1982 and 2019 in Belém, Brazilian Amazon. A total of 234 samples were tested by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to detect infections by picornaviruses of the Enterovirus (EV), Parechovirus (HPeV), Cosavirus (HCoSV), Kobuvirus (Aichivirus - AiV) and Salivirus (SalV) genera. The positive samples were subjected to different amplification protocols of the VP1 region of the genome, such as nested PCR or snPCR, and were subsequently genotyped by sequencing VP1 and VP3 of the viral genome.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a virus that can cause diarrhea in pigs, resulting in significant economic losses to the pig industry. The mutation of the virus and its co-infection with other enteroviruses leads to poor control of PEDV infection. In this study, we found that the diarrhea outbreak in a pig farm in Shandong Province was mainly caused by PEDV infection.
