complete coding sequences and phylogenetic analysis of porcine bocavirus.here we report, for the first time, the nearly full-length genome sequence of porcine bocavirus (pbov), a recently discovered parvovirus from pigs. phylogenetic trees based on this genome sequence showed that pbov belongs to the branch containing the genus bocavirus, which comprises canine minute virus (cnmv), bovine parvovirus, gorilla bocavirus and human bocavirus (hbov), and was most closely related to the group containing cnmv. pbov was predicted to contain three potential orfs encoding the ...201121228124
human bocavirus--a novel parvovirus to infect humans.for almost three decades parvovirus b19 has been described as the only member of the parvoviridae to infect and cause illness in humans. this statement was correct until 2005 when a group of swedish scientists identified a previously uncharacterized virus in pools of human nasopharyngeal aspirates obtained from individuals suffering from diseases of the respiratory tract. comprehensive sequence and phylogenetic analysis allowed the identification of the new virus as a member of the parvoviridae. ...200818536522
parvovirus infections in wild carnivores.various parvoviruses infect carnivores and can cause disease. in this review article the knowledge about infections of free-ranging or captive carnivores with the feline parvoviruses, feline panleukopenia virus, and canine parvovirus, including the antigenic types cpv-2a and -2b, as well as aleutian disease of mink virus and minute virus of canines are summarized. particular emphasis is placed on description of the evolution of canine parvovirus which apparently involved wild carnivore hosts.200111504234
[the "other" parvovirus: first description of the minute virus of canines (canine parvovirus type 1) in germany].during an investigation of a late abortion in a yorkshire terrier minute virus of canines (mvc) antigen could be demonstrated in fetal tissues by immunofluorescence. the bitch had a high specific anti-mvc serum titer when tested about four weeks after the abortion. those results implicate an etiological role of mvc in this abortion and to our knowledge it presents the first described case of a mvc-associated abortion in germany.19968999601
minute virus of canines (mvc, canine parvovirus type-1): pathogenicity for pups and seroprevalence estimate.minute virus of canines (mvc, canine parvovirus type-1) caused inapparent to severe illness in neonatal specific-pathogen-free pups exposed by the oronasal route. the experimental disease was generally mild. four of 21 infected pups had clinical signs of respiratory illness, but only 2 pups, not euthanized during the early postinoculation period, developed severe illness or died. principal pathologic changes included bronchitis and interstitial pneumonia with various degrees of lymphadenitis. in ...19948068747
pathogenicity of minute virus of canines (mvc) for the canine fetus.minute virus of canines (mvc) was shown to cause transplacental infections with embryo resorptions, especially in dams given parenteral inoculations prior to gestational day 30. responses to oral-nasal inocula were inconsistent. direct exposures of embryos or fetuses to mvc via the amniotic sac, however, resulted in their deaths after an incubation period of approximately 2 weeks. virus was prominent in fetal lung and small intestinal villi, but it could not be demonstrated in fetal or uterine t ...19911851474
fatal disease in nursing puppies associated with minute virus of canines.thirteen cases of a previously undescribed parvoviral infection affecting puppies ranging in age from 5 to 21 days is described. the cases were originally thought to represent an unusual pathologic manifestation of canine parvovirus-2 (cpv-2) infection. however, failure to confirm cpv-2 infection in any of the cases suggested a different parvovirus was involved. minute virus of canines (mvc) was subsequently isolated from a case by using the walter reed canine cell line, the only cell line which ...19921313305
canine hemorrhagic enteritis: detection of viral particles by electron microscopy.at necropsy, several dogs which died showing symptoms of hemorrhagic diarrhea, had significant lesions of the mucosa that were found especially in the duodenum and upper part of the small bowel. study of ultrathin sections from the diseased mucosa revealed particles resembling parvoviruses in altered nuclei of cells of the intestinal crypts. electron microscopic examination of intestinal contents by negative staining has shown the presence of many viral particles which have a diameter of 24 nm a ...1979316320
molecular characteristics of a novel strain of canine minute virus associated with hepatitis in a dog.a 5-year-old female yorkshire terrier dog died a few days following hernia and ovariohysterectomy surgeries. necropsy performed on the dog revealed that the surgeries were not the cause of death; however, degenerative viral hepatitis, showing intranuclear inclusion bodies in hepatic cells, was observed in histopathologic examination. several diagnostic methods were used to screen for the cause of disease, and minute virus of canines (mvc) was detected in all parenchymal organs, including the liv ...201627251050
the minute virus of canines (mvc) np1 protein governs the expression of a subset of essential ns proteins via its role in rna processing.parvoviruses use a variety of means to control the expression of their compact genomes. the bocaparvovirus minute virus of canines (mvc) encodes a small, genus-specific protein, np1, which governs access to the viral capsid gene via its role in alternative polyadenylation and alternative splicing of the single mvc pre-mrna. in addition to np1, mvc encodes five additional non-structural proteins (ns) that share an initiation codon at the left end of the genome and which are individually encoded b ...201728356522
characterization of novel canine bocaviruses and their association with respiratory disease.we report the first identification, genetic characterization and disease association studies of several novel species of canine bocaviruses (cbov). evolutionary analysis confirmed that cbov are genetically distinct from the only other known canine bocavirus, minute virus of canines (mvc), with which they share less than 63, 62 and 64% protein identity in ns, np and vp genes, respectively. comparative genetic analysis of 37 vp gene variants found in diseased and healthy animals showed that these ...201122031527
identification and nearly full-length genome characterization of novel porcine bocaviruses.the genus bocavirus includes bovine parvovirus (bpv), minute virus of canines (mvc), and a group of human bocaviruses (hbov1-4). using sequence-independent single primer amplification (sispa), a novel bocavirus group was discovered with high prevalence (12.59%) in piglet stool samples. two nearly full-length genome sequences were obtained, which were approximately 5,100 nucleotides in length. multiple alignments revealed that they share 28.7-56.8% dna sequence identity with other members of parv ...201021049037
bocavirus infection induces a dna damage response that facilitates viral dna replication and mediates cell death.minute virus of canines (mvc) is an autonomous parvovirus that replicates efficiently without helper viruses in walter reed/3873d (wrd) canine cells. we previously showed that mvc infection induces mitochondrion-mediated apoptosis and g(2)/m-phase arrest in infected wrd cells. however, the mechanism responsible for these effects has not been established. here, we report that mvc infection triggers a dna damage response in infected cells, as evident from phosphorylation of h2ax and rpa32. we disc ...201021047968
characterization of dog serum virome from northeastern brazil.domestic dogs share habitats with human, a fact that makes them a potential source of zoonotic viruses. moreover, knowledge regarding possible bloodborne pathogens is important due to the increasing application of blood transfusion in dogs. in the present study, we evaluated the serum virome of 520 dogs using throughput sequencing (hts). the serum samples were pooled and sequenced using an illumina miseq platform. our unbiased method identified prevalent canine pathogens as canine protoparvoviru ...201830292963
identification and characterization of a new bocavirus species in gorillas.a novel parvovirus, provisionally named gorilla bocavirus species 1 (gbov1), was identified in four stool samples from western gorillas (gorilla gorilla) with acute enteritis. the complete genomic sequence of the new parvovirus revealed three open reading frames (orfs) with an organization similar to that of known bocaviruses. phylogenetic analysis using complete capsid and non structural (ns) gene sequence suggested that the new parvovirus is most closely related to human bocaviruses (hbov). ho ...201020668709
