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.

Epidemiology, phylogeny, and evolution of emerging enteric Picobirnaviruses of animal origin and their relationship to human strains.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Identification of a bisegmented double-stranded RNA virus (picobirnavirus) in calf faeces.
TL;DR: The present study is the first report of a bisegmented virus identified in cattle in Brazil, and it is revealed that spherical virus particles with a diameter of 37 nm and without a defined surface structure are found.

TL;DR: A356_03_IND as discussed by the authors showed strong heterogeneity with all other picobirnavirus strains sequenced till date, and showed three conserved amino acid domains as well as a highly conserved D-S-D motif, characteristic of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene of bisegmented double stranded RNA viruses.

TL;DR: The detection of Picobirnaviruses (PBVs) in diarrhoeic faecal specimens from children aged <5 years, suggestive of zoonotic transmission is being reported, and in-depth molecular characterization is essential for better understanding of emerging PBV strains.

TL;DR: The present study suggests that closely related PBV strains infect both pigs and humans in Argentina and that the epidemiology of PBVs is not species restricted.
