Zhai SL, Zhang H, Chen SN, Zhou X, Lin T, Liu R, Lv DH, Wen XH, Wei WK, Wang D, Li F.
Abstract
Molecular tests revealed influenza D viruses of D/OK lineage widely circulating in farmed animal species in Guangdong Province, southern China. In particular, we found high levels of influenza D virus infection in goats and pigs. We also detected viral RNA in serum specimens and feces of animals with certain severe diseases.
KEYWORDS:
American Landrace pigs; Asian buffalo; China; D/OK lineage; Holstein dairy cattle; hemagglutinin-esterase-fusion gene; hybrid goats; influenza; influenza D virus; viruses; yellow cattle; zoonoses
