| molecular identification and characterization of novel coronaviruses infecting graylag geese (anser anser), feral pigeons (columbia livia) and mallards (anas platyrhynchos). | in light of the finding of a previously unknown coronavirus as the aetiology of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (sars), it is probable that other coronaviruses, than those recognized to date, are circulating in animal populations. here, the results of a screening for coronavirus are presented, using a universal coronavirus rt-pcr, of the bird species graylag goose (anser anser), feral pigeon (columbia livia) and mallard (anas platyrhynchos). coronaviruses were found in cloacal swab samples ... | 2005 | 15914837 |
| genome organization of canada goose coronavirus, a novel species identified in a mass die-off of canada geese. | the complete genome of a novel coronavirus was sequenced directly from the cloacal swab of a canada goose that perished in a die-off of canada and snow geese in cambridge bay, nunavut, canada. comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis indicate it is a new species of gammacoronavirus, as it falls below the threshold of 90% amino acid similarity in the protein domains used to demarcate coronaviridae. additional features that distinguish the genome of canada goose coronavirus include 6 novel o ... | 2019 | 30976080 |
