Molecular Epidemiology of Bovine Enteroviruses and Genome Characterization of Two Novel Bovine Enterovirus Strains in Guangxi, China.

ABSTRACT: Bovine enterovirus (BEV) is a highly infectious pathogen that may cause respiratory and gastrointestinal disease outbreaks in cattle. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and genetic characteristics of BEVs in Guangxi Province, China. A total of 1,168 fecal samples from 97 different bovine farms were collected between October 2021 and July 2022 in Guangxi Province, China. BEV was confirmed using a reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) method targeting the 5' untranslated region (UTR), and isolates were genotyped by sequencing their genomes. The nearly complete genome sequences of eight BEV strains showing cytopathic effects in MDBK cells were determined and analyzed. In total, 125 (10.7%) of 1,168 fecal samples were positive for BEV. BEV infection was significantly associated with f
