TL;DR: A 29 nucleotide deletion in open reading frame 8 (ORF8) is the most obvious genetic change in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) during its emergence in humans but it remains unclear whether the deletion actually reflects adaptation to humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity and molecular epidemiology of Anaplasma
TL;DR: This review is particularly focused on the common and unique characteristics of Anaplasma marginale and Ana Plasma phagocytophilum, with an emphasis on genetic diversity and evolution, and the main distinguishing features of the diseases caused by the different Ana plasma spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic complexity and multiple infections with more Parvovirus species in naturally infected cats
Mara Battilani,Andrea Balboni,Martina Ustulin,Massimo Giunti,Alessandra Scagliarini,Santino Prosperi +5 more
TL;DR: This study provides new important results about the evolutionary dynamics of CPV infections in cats, showing that CPV has presumably started a new process of readaptation in feline hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular epidemiology of canine adenovirus type 1 and type 2 in free-ranging red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Italy
Andrea Balboni,Ranieri Verin,Federico Morandi,Alessandro Poli,Santino Prosperi,Mara Battilani +5 more
TL;DR: To assess the presence of viral infection in Italian red foxes, thirty-two subjects shot during the regular hunting season were sampled and tested using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay capable of distinguishing between CAdV type 1 and type 2, and cloning of the virus detected has revealed a possible coinfection involving two different C adenovirus strains, raising new questions about the pathogenic role of CadV-2 in wildlife.
Journal ArticleDOI
A real-time PCR assay for bat SARS-like coronavirus detection and its application to Italian greater horseshoe bat faecal sample surveys.
TL;DR: An SYBR Green-real time PCR assay was developed for diagnosing infection with SARS-related coronaviruses from bat guano and was applied as screening tool in a survey carried out on 45 greater horseshoe bats sampled in Italy in 2009, showing high sensitivity and reproducibility.
