In this study, a novel parvovirus (gyb-MR02/2015/HUN, MT580795) was detected in barn owls (Tyto alba) and genetically characterized using viral metagenomics and PCR methods. The NS1 and VP1 proteins of gyb-MR02/2015/HUN share only 45.4% and 50.1% amino acid sequence identity, respectively, to the corresponding proteins of peafowl parvovirus 2 (MK988620), the closest relative. Out of 11 faecal specimens from owls (six from little owls, three from barn owls, and two from long-eared owls), two barn owl samples were positive for the novel parvovirus, which is distantly related to members of the recently established genus Chaphamaparvovirus in the subfamily Hamaparvovirinae. Systematic investigation is necessary to explore the diversity of parvoviruses.

Wild carnivorans are key hosts of parvoviruses of relevance for animal health and wildlife conservation. However, the distribution and diversity of parvoviruses among wild carnivorans are under-investigated, particularly in Southern Europe. We evaluated the presence, spread, and diversity of multi-host protoparvoviruses (canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2), feline panleukopenia virus (FPV)), and amdoparvoviruses in 12 carnivoran species from Northern Spain to explore viral ecology.

Insect larvae production offers the potential for large-scale synthesis of high-quality protein that can be used as feed or food. However, currently, there are limitations on the source of substrates for the insect larvae to use. One concern is the potential survival of animal pathogens within insect larvae if their feed is contaminated.

In 2022, a novel parvovirus was identified from an outbreak of fatal enteritis in weaned European hedgehogs () at a wildlife rescue center in Southern Italy. During sequence analysis, the strain was found to be closely related (90.4% nucleotide identity) to a chaphamaparvovirus (ChPV) discovered in Amur hedgehogs () during a large metaviromic investigation in game animals in China.

Porcine parvovirus disease is a reproductive disorder caused by the porcine parvovirus (PPV) in sows and is characterised by miscarriage, stillbirth and mummification in pregnant sows. Porcine parvovirus disease poses a significant threat to pork herds and seriously hinders healthy and sustainable development of the pig farming industry. Currently, there is no effective treatment for porcine parvovirus disease except for prevention and control measures.

Human parvovirus B19 is a prevalent childhood infectious virus that poses a great challenge to public health, so the detection of B19V is of great importance. In this study, a DNA sensor based on CbAgo, a Cas effector, and a dual electrochemical signal amplification strategy was developed by using a novel nanocomposite MnO/CMK-3/g-CN/AgNPs for initial signal amplification, with CMK being an ordered mesoporous carbon nanomaterial. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were used as electrocatalytic probes for secondary signal amplification to detect B19 DNA.
