Whole-Genome Sequencing Reveals Co-Infection with Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus, Bovine Enterovirus, and Caprine Parainfluenza Virus Type 3 in a Calf from a Cattle Herd in Xizang, China

Simple Summary Diarrhea is a major health problem in young cattle, but the causes are often hard to identify—especially in remote, high-altitude regions like Xizang, where disease monitoring is limited. In July 2024, a calf on a farm in Linzhi, Xizang, developed severe diarrhea and breathing difficulties. A sample from...

Isolation and partial 5′UTR-based molecular characterization of bovine enterovirus F from non-diarrheic cattle in Türkiye

Although BEVs are not routinely prioritized in diagnostic screening panels for cattle, the incidental detection of cytopathogenic BEV isolates, together with the high seropositivity rate observed among in-contact animals, suggests that BEVs should be considered in virological investigations.

Identification, Isolation and Genomic Characterization of an Emerging Shamonda Virus Variant Associated with Bovine Disease in Switzerland

In July 2026, an outbreak of a cattle illness characterized by high fever, diarrhea and reduced milk production, often affecting whole herds, was detected across several regions of northern Switzerland. To investigate the cause of the outbreak, a broad range of diagnostic methods was applied, including pathogen-specifi...
