Evolutionary dynamics of Erinaceus coronavirus in Italy: spike protein adaptation and variable CD200 ortholog insertion

Luca De Sabato, Ilaria Di Bartolo, Irene Berselli, Giovanni Ianiro et autres

Introduction In 2013, a novel coronavirus (CoV) species was identified in European hedgehogs ( Erinaceus europaeus ) in Germany. Since then, only a limited number of studies reported the circulation of this virus, recognized as Erinaceus coronavirus (EriCoV), and demonstrated its evolutionary …

Divergent Avian Influenza H10 Viruses from Sympatric Waterbird Species in Italy: Zoonotic Potential Assessment by Molecular Markers

Marzia Facchini, Maria Alessandra De Marco, Sara Piacentini, Angela Di Martino et autres

Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) of H10 subtype are able to circulate in domestic and wild bird populations but can also spill over and adapt to mammals, posing a continuous risk to biodiversity conservation, veterinary health, and public health. In the present study, …

Occupational Risk from Avian Influenza Viruses at Different Ecological Interfaces Between 1997 and 2019

Maria Alessandra De Marco, Alessandra Binazzi, Paola Maria Melis, Claudia Cotti et autres

Unprotected exposures to infected poultry or wild birds, and/or to the related avian influenza virus (AIV)-contaminated environments, could account for AIV infection in workers. This study was aimed at highlighting the ecological interfaces related to domestic poultry and wild birds posing an …

Long-Term Serological Investigations of Influenza A Virus in Free-Living Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) from Northern Italy (2007–2014)

Maria Alessandra De Marco, Claudia Cotti, Elisabetta Raffini, Matteo Frasnelli et autres

Influenza A viruses (IAV) have been repeatedly demonstrated to circulate in wild suid populations. In this study, serum samples were collected from 2618 free-ranging wild boars in a protected area of Northern Italy between 2007 and 2014, and firstly screened by enzyme-linked …

Serologic Evidence of Occupational Exposure to Avian Influenza Viruses at the Wildfowl/Poultry/Human Interface

Maria Alessandra De Marco, Mauro Delogu, Marzia Facchini, Livia Di Trani et autres

Ecological interactions between wild aquatic birds and outdoor-housed poultry can enhance spillover events of avian influenza viruses (AIVs) from wild reservoirs to domestic birds, thus increasing the related zoonotic risk to occupationally exposed workers. To assess serological evidence of AIV infection in …

Can Coronaviruses Steal Genes from the Host as Evidenced in Western European Hedgehogs by EriCoV Genetic Characterization?

Luca De Sabato, Ilaria Di Bartolo, Maria Alessandra De Marco, Ana Moreno et autres

Due to their need for living cells, viruses have developed adaptive evolutionary strategies to survive and perpetuate in reservoir hosts that play a crucial role in the ecology of emerging pathogens. Pathogenic and potentially pandemic betacoronaviruses arose in humans in 2002 (SARS-CoV, …

Serologic and Virologic Evidence of Influenza a Viruses in Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) from Two Different Locations in Italy

Mauro Delogu, Claudia Cotti, Gabriele Vaccari, Elisabetta Raffini et autres

Swine influenza viruses (SIVs) have been repeatedly demonstrated to circulate in wild boar ( Sus scrofa) populations, whereas no evidence of exposure to avian influenza viruses (AIVs) has been described in wild boar. To better understand how different environments may influence the …
