TL;DR: The presence of eight pathogenic viruses was investigated in sewage to explore whether their identification could be used as an early warning of outbreaks and provide early warning before the causative pathogens have been recognized in health care.

TL;DR: Using viral metagenomics of brain tissue from a young adult crossbreed steer with acute onset of neurologic disease, the complete genome of a novel astrovirus (BoAstV-NeuroS1) that was phylogenetically related to an ovine astrov virus is sequenced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of Classic and Novel Human Astrovirus: Gastroenteritis and Beyond.
TL;DR: This review provides an update on the epidemiology of both classic and novel human astroviruses, and a comprehensive view on confirmed or potential association between astrovirus and human disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Faecal virome of cats in an animal shelter.
TL;DR: The detection of such a diverse collection of viruses shed within a single shelter suggested that such animals experience robust viral exposures, increasing the understanding of the viral diversity in cats and facilitating future evaluation of their pathogenic and zoonotic potentials.

TL;DR: By using in vitro methods and animal models to characterize virus-host interactions, researchers have discovered several important properties of astroviruses, including the ability of the astrovirus capsid to act as an enterotoxin, disrupting the gut epithelial barrier.
