Retrospective study of porcine circovirus 3 infection in China
In this study, 200 porcine clinical samples collected from 20 provinces, five autonomous regions and four municipalities between 1990 and 1999 were analysed for PCV3 infection by PCR. Results showed that 6.5% of the porcine samples collected from eight provinces and one autonomous region were PCV3 positive, with the earliest cases occurring in 1996. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that PCV3 strains obtained in this study shared 96.6%–99.7% and 97.1%–99.4% sequence identity at the ORF2 gene and genome levels with all available reference strains from China and other countries, indicating the high genetic stability of...

Seroprevalence of Mycobacterium bovis infection in warthogs (Phacochoerus africanus) in bovine tuberculosis ‐endemic regions of South Africa
This study indicates that warthogs in M. bovis‐endemic areas are at high risk of becoming infected with mycobacteria. Warthogs might present an under‐recognized disease threat in multi‐species systems. They might also serve as convenient sentinels for M. bovis in endemic areas. These findings highlight the importance of epidemiological studies in wildlife to understand the role each species plays in disease ecology. (Source: Transboundary and Emerging Diseases)

The presence of duck Tembusu virus in Thailand since 2007: A retrospective study
In conclusion, our data demonstrated the presence of DTMUV in the Thai ducks since 2007, prior to the first report of DTMUV in China in 2010. This study indicates that DTMUV may have circulated in the region long before 2010 and highlights high genetic diversity of DTMUVs in Asia. (Source: Transboundary and Emerging Diseases)

Detection of a novel porcine circovirus ‐like agent in aborted pig foetuses
Summary A large outbreak of swine abortion, which began in January 2017, is ongoing in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, China. We identified a new porcine circovirus‐like agent, designated P4, in the aborted foetuses from several of these cases of swine reproductive failure. PCR and qRT‐PCR analyses confirmed that other common abortogenic agents were not present in these animals. P4 contains a 710‐nucleotide circular viral genome, and all strains examined in this study were closely related to the dominant genotype of porcine circovirus type 2. Further studies, such as in vivo analyses, are needed to confirm P4 as the ae...
