Prevalence and genetic characterization of diarrhea viruses among cattle in Guangdong, China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bovine coronavirus (BCoV), bovine norovirus (BNoV), and bovine rotavirus C (BRVC) are common diarrheal viruses in cattle and pose significant threats to herds and humans. In this study, we collected 194 fresh fecal samples from adult cattle between September 2022 and January 2024 in Guangdong Province, China. We presented the genetic characteristics of 24 newly identified enteric virus strains in cattle, including two bovine coronavirus (BCoV) strains (GD-GZ-01 and GD-GZ-02), one bovine norovirus (BNoV) strain (BYN7), and 22 bovine rotavirus (BRV) strains (BRVB, BRVC, and BRVH, representing groups B, C, and H, respectively). Genetic analysis was conducted via MEGA-X, MAFFT, RDP, SimPlot and Rstudio software. The reference strains' related genes were retrieved from GenBan
