BACKGROUND In Japanese Red Cross (JRC) blood centers, blood collected from donors
with serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels of more than 60 U/L are disqualified even …

Recently a parvovirus called bufavirus (BuV) has been implicated as a causative agent of
diarrhoea. To further reveal the epidemiology and genetic characteristics of BuV, this study …

A divergent parvovirus genome was the only eukaryotic viral sequence detected in feces of
a Tunisian child with unexplained diarrhea. Tusavirus 1 shared 44% and 39% identity with …

Bats are important hosts of many viruses and in several cases they may serve as natural
reservoirs even for viruses with zoonotic potential worldwide, including Europe. However …

Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are the most abundant carnivore species in the Northern
Hemisphere. Since their populations are well established in peri-urban and urban areas …

Dear editor: Bufavirus (BuV) belongs to the genus Protoparvovirus within the family
Parvoviridae [1-4] and was firstly discovered in the stools of diarrhoeic children in 2012 in …

Three human protoparvoviruses, bufavirus (BuV), tusavirus (TuV) and cutavirus (CuV), have
recently been discovered in diarrheal stool. BuV has been associated with diarrhea and …

Two human parvoviruses were recently discovered by metagenomics in Africa, bufavirus
(BuV) in 2012 and tusavirus (TuV) in 2014. These viruses have been studied exclusively by …

Abstract Development of next-generation sequencing and metagenomics has revolutionized
detection of novel viruses. Among these viruses are 3 human protoparvoviruses: bufavirus …

Over the past century, the southern sea otter (SSO; Enhydra lutris nereis) population has
been slowly recovering from near extinction due to overharvest. The SSO is a threatened …
