TLDR
A PBV strain, PBV/Horse/India/BG-Eq-3/2010, was identified in the faeces of a 10 month old weaned female foal with diarrhoea in January 2010 from Kolkata, India and sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis revealed close genetic relatedness to a human genogroup IPBV strain detected earlier from the same part of India.Citations

Water quality indicators: bacteria, coliphages, enteric viruses
Johnson Lin,Atheesha Ganesh +1 more
TL;DR: The potential of human pathogenic viruses as significant indicators of water quality is emerging and has been proposed as suitable indices for the effective identification of such organisms of human origin contaminating water systems.

TL;DR: The number of viruses found in horses is expanded, and their genomes are characterized to assist future epidemiological studies of their transmission and potential association with various equine diseases.

TL;DR: Although, PBVs may have an ambiguous clinical implication, they do pose a potential public health concern in humans and control of PBVs mainly relies on nonvaccinal approach.

Animal Picobirnavirus
TL;DR: Pereira et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a review of the veterinary and zoonotic aspects of animal Picobirnavirus infections since its discovery, focusing on the potential role of PBV as either a primary diarrhoeal agent or a potential pathogen in "immunocompetent individuals" or an "innocuous virus" in the intestine.

Picobirnavirus infections: viral persistence and zoonotic potential
Balasubramanian Ganesh,Krisztián Bányai,Vito Martella,Ferenc Jakab,Gisela Masachessi,Nobumichi Kobayashi +5 more
TL;DR: The public health aspects of PBV infection, especially its possible association with zoonosis is analyzed, as well as evidence has been found for genetic relatedness between human and animalPBV strains, suggesting extant crossing points in the ecology and evolution of heterologous PBV strains.

TL;DR: Large-scale molecular RNA virus screening based on host nucleic acid depletion, sequence-independent amplification, and sequencing of partially purified viral RNA from a limited number of clinical diarrhea samples revealed four eukaryotic virus species.

TL;DR: On comparison with a part of the nucleotide sequences of the RNA segment, 2 of the other published picobirnavirus strains, the Thai strain was found to be related most closely to one of the US strains.

TL;DR: The structure of a picobirnavirus shows a simple core capsid with a distinctive icosahedral arrangement, displaying 60 two‐fold symmetric dimers of a coat protein (CP) with a new 3D‐fold, and it is shown that, as many non‐enveloped animal viruses, CP undergoes an autoproteolytic cleavage, releasing a post‐translationally modified peptide that remains associated with nucleic acid within the capsid.

Sequence heterogeneity among human picobirnaviruses detected in a gastroenteritis outbreak.
TL;DR: Findings demonstrate a lack of common exposure to or point of source for picobirnavirus infection, suggesting that the outbreak was caused by human caliciviruses.

TL;DR: This data indicates that diarrheal illness among monkeys is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in humans and animals, including non human primates.
