Story summary
- Researchers identify the BYN7 strain of bovine norovirus (BNoV) in the GIII.2 group.
- Phylogenetic analysis shows BYN7 has low similarity to existing sequences and implies new gene sequences.
- Bovine rotavirus classification reveals BRVH clusters, with BRVH closer to human rotaviruses.
- Two bovine coronavirus (BCoV) genomes were sequenced, showing similarity to Zhejiang and Xinjiang strains.
- Recombination analysis indicates potential genetic exchange between BCoV and human coronaviruses and signals cross-species transmission risk.
