Abstract

Influenza D virus (IDV) is prevalent in cattle in China, and a risk for spillover to other species exists. We detected IDV antibodies in 6/315 of black donkeys in northern China, suggesting cattle-to-donkey transmission and demonstrating the expanding host range of IDV and the need for reassessment of cross-species transmission risks.

Keywords: China; black donkeys; influenza; influenza D virus; respiratory infections; serologic tests; viruses; zoonoses.
