“…In this study, all the isolates carried Ehly gene, and four of them resulted to be positive also for stx1 gene. This implicates that the Rotavirus infection in buffalo has been reported by many authors [20,21,23,[31][32][33]. They are described as important agents causing diarrhoea in buffalo calves, either separately or in combination with E. coli ETEC, Salmonella sp., Clostridium sp.…”

In this paper, we reported lethal episodes in buffalo calves, due to rotavirus and concurrent infection with E. coli O157:H7, in a closed community in Italy. A first detection of group A rotavirus infection was made by using an immunochromatographic assay, the virus isolation was performed on Monkey kidney cells (MA-104), and the rotavirus isolates were G and P characterized by a reverse transcription (RT)-PCR assay using a nested multiplex method. Co-infection with E. coli strains was demonstrated by classical bacteriological procedures. The E. coli isolates were analysed by Vero cell assay and PCR. This study showed the presence of group A rotavirus of G6-P5 serotypes and verocytotoxin producing or non-producing E. coli O157:H7 in faecal samples. So far the concomitant presence of rotavirus and E. coli O157:H7 in cases of enteritis in Bubalus bubalis in Italy is not reported in the literature, as well as the mortality of buffalo calves probably due at an additional virulence factor, Shiga toxin 1 (stx1) gene, of the E. coli O157:H7 strains.

“…Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis or Infectious Pustular Vulvovaginitis (IBR/IPV) is an infectious disease of cattle due to the bovine herpes virus 1 (BHV-1 or BoV-1H), belonging to the family Herpesviridae, subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae. Buffalo Alphaherpesvirus was differentiated from BHV-1 on restriction profiling of viral DNA in Australia, indicating that it might be a different species [35]. Studies in Italy established that buffaloes are exposed to both BHV-1 as well as Bubalino Herpes Virus 1 (BuHV-1) at the population and herd level but not associated with mixed herds, with a high prevalence of coexistence of the two viruses at the herd level [41,42].…”

“…IBR-susceptible species are domestic and wild cattle. Transmission occurs through aerosols, direct and indirect, contact and venereal, artificial insemination, respiratory, eye, and reproductive secretions (amniotic fluid, placenta, fetus, and semen) of infected animals, for ten to fourteen days after infection, even asymptomatic, and also through milking machine suckers [35]. The incubation period is from two to twenty days.…”

The water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) has great adaptability to rustic environments and more variable conditions than cattle, who generally share the habitat. Diseases carried by buffaloes are relatively unknown and ignored and could be transmissible; an imbalance occurs between pathogens, environment, and susceptible hosts, generating a severe animal health problem. Also relevant is the effect of climate change on the populations of vectors that transmit viral diseases. The discovery of new virus variants that can pass from bovine (Bos) to buffalo or vice versa or to humans has highlighted the relevance of viruses crossing the host barrier. This review discusses the clinical viral diseases most reported in the water buffalo, characteristics, epidemiology, and recent findings about disease behavior, interaction with other species, the host, vectors, and pathogens. Diseases reviewed include Foot and Mouth Disease, Rinderpest, Malignant Catarrhal Fever, Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis, Bovine Viral Diarrhea, and Rabies. Also, vector-borne diseases include Lumpy Skin Disease, Ephemeral Fever, and Blue Tongue. The review also considers emerging viruses such as Buffalo Pox and Schmallenberg and, finally, other viruses such as papillomatosis. The knowledge and epidemiology of buffalo viral diseases must be constantly reconsidered and updated for adequate prevention and control programs.
