epidemiology and evolution of novel deltacoronaviruses in birds in central china.	the variety and widespread of coronavirus in natural reservoir animals is likely to cause epidemics via interspecific transmission, which has attracted much attention due to frequent coronavirus epidemics in recent decades. birds are natural reservoir of various viruses, but the existence of coronaviruses in wild birds in central china has been barely studied. some bird coronaviruses belong to the genus of deltacoronavirus. to explore the diversity of bird deltacoronaviruses in central china, we ...	2021	33559368
discovery and sequence analysis of four deltacoronaviruses from birds in the middle east reveal interspecies jumping with recombination as a potential mechanism for avian-to-avian and avian-to-mammalian transmission.	the emergence of middle east respiratory syndrome showed once again that coronaviruses (covs) in animals are potential source for epidemics in humans. to explore the diversity of deltacoronaviruses in animals in the middle east, we tested fecal samples from 1,356 mammals and birds in dubai, the united arab emirates. four novel deltacoronaviruses were detected from eight birds of four species by reverse transcription-pcr (rt-pcr): falcov uae-hku27 from a falcon, houcov uae-hku28 from a houbara bu ...	2018	29769348
discovery of seven novel mammalian and avian coronaviruses in the genus deltacoronavirus supports bat coronaviruses as the gene source of alphacoronavirus and betacoronavirus and avian coronaviruses as the gene source of gammacoronavirus and deltacoronavirus.	recently, we reported the discovery of three novel coronaviruses, bulbul coronavirus hku11, thrush coronavirus hku12, and munia coronavirus hku13, which were identified as representatives of a novel genus, deltacoronavirus, in the subfamily coronavirinae. in this territory-wide molecular epidemiology study involving 3,137 mammals and 3,298 birds, we discovered seven additional novel deltacoronaviruses in pigs and birds, which we named porcine coronavirus hku15, white-eye coronavirus hku16, sparr ...	2012	22278237
