isolation and characterization of a new species of kobuvirus associated with cattle.	a cytopathic agent was isolated using vero cells from the culture medium of hela cells that had been used for more than 30 years in our laboratory. this agent, termed u-1 strain, was serially passed in vero cells with distinct cpe. particles of u-1 strain negatively stained with phosphotungstic acid exhibited a distinct surface that resembled aichi virus. the rna genome of u-1 strain comprises 8374 nt, with a genome organization analogous to that of picornaviruses. possible cleavage sites of the ...	2003	14573811
complete nucleotide and amino acid sequences and genetic organization of porcine kobuvirus, a member of a new species in the genus kobuvirus, family picornaviridae.	kobuvirus is a new genus in the family picornaviridae. two species are currently known: aichi virus (human kobuvirus) and bovine kobuvirus (u-1). in this study, the complete nucleotide and amino acid sequences and genetic organization of porcine kobuvirus (kobuvirus/swine/s-1-hun/2007/hungary, eu787450) were determined. the structure of the s-1-hun genome, vpg-5'utr-leader protein-structural proteins (vp0, vp3, vp1)-non-structural proteins (2a-2c, 3a-3d)-3'utr-poly(a) tail, was found to be typic ...	2009	19096904

kobuviruses - a comprehensive review.	kobuviruses are members of the large and growing family picornaviridae. until now, two official, aichi virus and bovine kobuvirus, and one candidate kobuvirus species, 'porcine kobuvirus', have been identified in human, cattle and swine, respectively. in addition, kobu-like viruses were detected very recently in the bat. aichi virus could be one of the causative agents of gastroenteritis in humans, and kobuviruses probably also cause diarrhoea in cattle and swine. although aichi virus has been d ...	2011	21294214
molecular detection and genetic characterization of kobuviruses in fecal samples collected from diarrheic cattle in korea.	kobuviruses are small, non-enveloped viruses with single-stranded, positive-sense genomic rna, belonging to the family picornaviridae, a highly diverse family of important pathogens of humans and animals. in spite of discovery of bovine kobuvirus was first reported in 2003, which is several years ago, information about the virus is lacking. in this study, we first identified bovine kobuviruses from korean diarrheic cattle by rt-pcr using the generic kobuvirus primers with subsequent cloning and ...	2011	21382521
three clusters of bovine kobuvirus isolated in korea, 2008-2010.	fecal samples (n = 107) were collected from cattle with ascertained or suspected diarrheal disease on korean farms during 2008-2010. of these, 37 samples tested positive for bovine kobuvirus. the 37 positive samples came from 32 cattle that exhibited diarrhea and five cattle that were non-diarrhetic. the majority of the virus-positive feces samples were from calves under 1 month of age (n = 25). nine of the 37 cattle infected with bovine kobuvirus were confirmed to have a co-infection with other ...	2011	21399921

a distinct class of internal ribosomal entry site in members of the kobuvirus and proposed salivirus and paraturdivirus genera of the picornaviridae.	the 5'-untranslated regions (5' utrs) of picornavirus genomes contain an internal ribosomal entry site (ires) that promotes the end-independent initiation of translation. picornavirus iress are classified into four structurally distinct groups, each with different initiation factor requirements. here, we identify a fifth ires class in members of kobuvirus, salivirus, and paraturdivirus genera of picornaviridae: aichi virus (av), bovine kobuvirus (bkv), canine kobuvirus (ckov), mouse kobuvirus (m ...	2011	22114340
the 3a protein from multiple picornaviruses utilizes the golgi adaptor protein acbd3 to recruit pi4kiiiβ	the activity of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase class iii beta (pi4kiiiβ) has been shown to be required for the replication of multiple picornaviruses, however it is unclear whether a physical association between pi4kiiiβ and the viral replication machinery exists and if it does, whether association is necessary. we examined the ability of the 3a protein from 18 different picornaviruses to form a complex with pi4kiiiβ by affinity purification of strep-tagged transiently transfected constructs foll ...	2012	22258260
kobuvirus in south korean black goats.	kobuviruses have been detected in humans and several animal species, including cattle, swine, sheep, canines, mice, and probably bats. while investigating the possibility of kobuviruses infecting additional animal host species, we detected kobuvirus in three fecal samples from domestic korean black goats. in a maximum parsimony tree and a bayesian tree, the 08kg680 strain fell within the bovine kobuvirus lineage, but the 09kg172 and 10kg056 strains did not fall within any of the known animal kob ...	2012	22528642
identification and characterization of porcine kobuvirus variant isolated from suckling piglet in gansu province, china.	kobuviruses comprise three species, the aichivirus a, aichivirus b, and aichivirus c (porcine kobuvirus). porcine kobuvirus is endemic to pig farms and is not restricted geographically but, rather, is distributed worldwide. the complete genomic sequences of four porcine kobuvirus strains isolated during a diarrhea outbreak in piglets in the gansu province of china were determined. two of these strains exhibited variations relative to the traditional strains. the potential 3c/3d cleavage sites of ...	2013	24145960
epidemiology of human and animal kobuviruses.	kobuviruses are member of the family picornaviridae. initially, members in kobuvirus genus were named according to the basis of their host species. the viruses found in humans called "aichi virus", the viruses from cattle called "bovine kobuvirus", and the viruses isolated from pigs called "porcine kobuvirus". currently, taxonomy of kobuviruses has been proposed and the virus species have been renamed. the "aichi virus" has been renamed as "aichivirus a", "bovine kobuvirus" has been renamed as " ...	2014	25674585
molecular characterization and sequence analysis of the 2b region of aichivirus c strains in japan and thailand.	aichivirus c is the third species in the genus kobuvirus, family picornaviridae, and the virus is circulating in pigs worldwide. aichivirus a in humans and aichivirus b in cows have been shown to associate with diarrheal diseases, however, the pathogenesis of aichivirus c has not been demonstrated clearly. in this study, the full genome nucleotide sequence of the thai strain, cmp06/2007/tha collected from stool sample of a diarrheal piglet was analyzed and identified as a variant type with a 90- ...	2014	24837671
kobuvirus (aichivirus b) infection in brazilian cattle herds.	there are few studies involving the detection of aichivirus b in cattle herds worldwide, and this virus has never been diagnosed in south america. this study evaluated 222 diarrhoeic faecal samples from four brazilian geographical regions (south, southeast, midwest, and north), collected between february 2010 to may 2012. to evaluate the frequency of occurrence in different types of livestock, samples from beef (n = 105) and dairy (n = 117) cattle herds were evaluated. to determine the category ...	2014	24590582
