Unveiling Origin Pitfalls in Metagenomic Surveillance for Emerging Infectious Diseases: Parvoviruses as a Model

iMetaMed, Volume 1, Issue 1, September 2025.
A diverse reagent‐associated virome, including parvoviruses, misleads zoonotic surveillance. By leveraging large language models (ChatGPT‐4o), we construct a virus discovery data framework (PVDDC) and ParvoDB to access and correct host misattributions, thereby enhancing the accuracy of metagenomic surveillance for emerging zoonotic diseases.

BIOHAZ scientific opinion on the equivalence of an alternative heat treatment process of feathers and down

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract The European Commission requested EFSA to provide a scientific opinion on the equivalence between the heat treatment process of feathers and down with dry heat to a temperature of 100°C for 30 min and the treatment set up in Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011, in terms of inactivation of relevant pathogens.

Gut Virome of Tibetan Pigs Reveals the Diversity, Composition, and Distribution of Potential Novel Viruses/Variants

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
As a local breed adapted to the extreme environment of the Tibetan Plateau, Tibetan pigs have not yet been systematically characterized in terms of their gut viral communities. In this study, we applied viral metagenomics to sequence fecal samples from 191 Tibetan pigs (including both healthy and diarrheal individuals) across four farms in Nyingchi ...

Comparative Pathogenicity of PCV2, PCV3, and PCV4 in Piglets: Insights Into Clinical, Pathological, and Immunological Features

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Porcine circoviruses (PCVs) have been a significant concern in swine health, with PCV2 being a well‐established pathogen. However, the newly discovered PCV3 and PCV4 have emerged, and their impact on piglets remains less understood. Understanding their pathogenicity is crucial for effective porcine health management.

Genome sequence characterization of pigeon circoviruses in China

Virus Research, 2017
Pigeon circovirus (PiCV) was detected by PCR in pigeons from China. Altogether, 48 out of 244 pigeons tested positive for PiCV (positive rate, 19.67%), suggesting that the virus was prevalent in China. From the 48 PiCV-positive samples, about 2040bp complete genome fragments were obtained by full length genome amplification and sequenced with a next ...

Detection of PCV3 in German wild boars

Virology Journal, 2019
Background Porcine circovirus 3 is a newly described circovirus circulating worldwide. PCV3 may play an etiologic role in different pig diseases. Two different genotypes of PCV3 were described, PCV3a and PCV3b.

A remarkably diverse and well-organized virus community in a filter-feeding oyster

Microbiome, 2023
Background Viruses play critical roles in the marine environment because of their interactions with an extremely broad range of potential hosts. Many studies of viruses in seawater have been published, but viruses that inhabit marine animals have been ...

Occurrence of Recombinant Canine Coronavirus, Picodicistrovirus, and Circovirus in Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) Implies Frequent Virus Transmission Events Among Carnivores

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Although their pathogenicity is most often unclear, some canine viruses have been found to infect carnivores other than dogs. This study relies on the surveillance of coronaviruses in 206 saliva and fecal samples of huntable, sympatric canid and mustelid species captured in Hungary, such as the native red fox (Vulpes vulpes), European badger (Meles ...

Metagenomic Identification of a Novel Zoonotic Gemykibivirus in a Diarrheic Pig in China

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Gemykibiviruses are circular, replication‐associated protein (REP) encoding single‐stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses classified within the genus Gemykibivirus of the family Genomoviridae. In recent years, several gemykibiviruses have been detected in humans presenting with clinical symptoms, such as encephalitis, respiratory illness, sepsis, pericarditis ...
