Bovine Coronavirus: Variability, Evolution, and Dispersal Patterns of a No Longer Neglected Betacoronavirus

Abstract: Bovine coronavirus (BoCV) is an important pathogen of cattle, causing severe enteric disease and playing a role in the bovine respiratory disease complex. Similar to other coronaviruses, a remarkable variability characterizes both its genome and biology. Despite their potential relevance, different aspects of the evolution of BoCV remain elusive. The present study reconstructs the history and evolution of BoCV using a phylodynamic approach based on complete genome and spike protein sequences. The results demon… Show more

“…Further insight into this question whether the Russian flu was caused by a coronavirus, particularly a bovine coronavirus, can be expected from current veterinary experience with BCoV infections (Franzo et al., 2020 ; Saif and Jung, 2020 ; Colina et al ., 2021 ; Hodnik et al ., 2020 ). Two features characterize BCoV: first, it has a broad host range including wild ruminants and a substantial zoonotic potential and second, it has a dual tropism for the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.…”

“…Some CoV have been shown to be multi-host pathogens as they require an intermediate host before being able to infect humans (e.g., cattle for HCoV-OC43, alpacas for HCoV-229E, palm civets for SARS-CoV and dromedary camels for MERS-CoV). At present, Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is the only known CoV mainly infecting the cattle ( Bos taurus ), with several isolates which have high morbidity but low mortality [ 21 , 22 , 23 ]. The following elements underline call for One Health strategies in the face of these infecting agents: (i) the biological characteristics of most CoV and their ability to cross species barriers, (ii) the high mutation rate of the CoVs, which can determine quite a large host spectrum for every CoV) and (iii) the high potential negative impacts of many CoVs.…”

“…Also, serological assays can be an additional tool to gain insight in the potential and scale of animal-to-human transmission, when combined with epidemiological information on exposure, as was done for mink farm employees on SARS-CoV-2 on infected mink farms ( Oude Munnink et al ., 2020b ; Sikkema et al ., 2016 ). However, it is important to realize that coronaviruses including betacoronaviruses are common in many animal species, and can result in cross reactivity and false positives ( Franzo et al ., 2020 ; Nemoto et al ., 2019 ; Erles and Brownlie, 2008 ).…”
