Genetically Diverse Coronaviruses in Captive Bird Populations in a Brazilian Zoological Park

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of coronaviruses (CoVs) in captive birds placed inside a zoological park in Brazil. The role of captive birds in the epidemiology of CoVs in the tropics is poorly understood. A total of 25 (n ¼ 25) different species were tested for viral RNA using individual fecal samples collected from healthy birds. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction targeting the 3 0 untranslated region was used to detect CoV RNA, and positive samples were submitted for sequence an… Show more

“…Other respiratory pathogens, such as the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and avian metapneumovirus (aMPV), can interact with IBV increasing the severity and course of the disease (22). In addition to IBV, coronaviruses from the Gammacoronavirus (c-Co V ) and Deltacoronavirus (d-Co V ) genera can also be found in asymptomatic birds (4,11,14,15,19,20,22,30).…”

“…Besides IBV, coronaviruses from the Gamma (γ-CoV) and Deltacoronavirus (δ-CoV) genera are also detected in asymptomatic birds (Liu et al, 2005;Jonassen et al, 2005;Felippe et al, 2010;Cardoso et al, 2011;Woo et al, 2009;Chu et al, 2011;Durães-Carvalho et al, 2015;Jordan et al, 2015).…”

“…Gammacoronaviruses were also described in pheasants (PhCoV), ducks (DCoV), pigeons (PCOV), peafowl, teals, quail and in several species of wild birds (CAVANAGH, 2001;CAVANAGH, 2005;LIU et al, 2005;JONASSEN et al, 2005;FELIPPE et al, 2010;CIRCELLA et al, 2007;CARDOSO et al, 2011;TORRES et al, 2013). Even more, detection of Gamma and Deltacoronavirus in wild birds were also reported by Chu et al (2011), Durães-Carvalho et al (2015) and Jordan et al (2015).…”
