“…in the genus Gammacoronavirus among igacoviruses belonging to the DuCoV2714 species and in the genus Deltacoronavirus among buldecoviruses belonging to the WeCoV-HKU16 species. Similar results were obtained previously, as both gamma- and deltacoronaviruses were detected in different gulls worldwide 6 – 10 . Moreover, the whole genome sequence of deltacoronaviruses detected in black-headed gulls ( Chroicocephalus ridibundus ) (BHGdCoV) in Chinese Yunnan Province were also recently described 11 .…”

The coronaviruses (CoV) are ubiquitous pathogens found in wide variety of hosts that constantly pose a threat to human and animal health as a result of their enormous capacity to generate genetic changes. Constant monitoring of virus reservoirs can constitute an early-warning tool and control the spread and evolution of the virus. Coronaviruses are common in wild birds, globally, and birds of the Charadriiformes in particular have been demonstrated to be carriers of delta- (dCoV) and gammacoronaviruses (gCoV). In this paper, we present the genetic characterisation of five CoV strains from black-headed (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) and common (Larus canus) gulls. Whole genome sequence analysis showed high similarity of detected dCoV in gulls to previously identified strains from falcon, houbara, pigeon and gulls from Asia (UAE, China). However, phylogenetic analysis revealed bifurcation within a common branch. Furthermore, the accumulation of numerous amino acid changes within the S-protein was demonstrated, indicating further evolution of dCoV within a single gull host. In turn, phylogenetic analysis for the most of the structural and non-structural genes of identified gCoV confirmed that the strain belongs to the duck coronavirus 2714 (DuCoV2714) species within Igacovirus subgenera, while for the spike protein it forms a separate branch not closely related to any gCoV species known to date. The current study provides new and significant insights into the evolution and diversification of circulating coronaviruses in members of Laridae family.

“…Thus, our data con rmed that the presence of AAstV is relatively high among wild birds of the Anatidae family (including species from this study) [9,11,12]. Columbidae astroviruses were presented in rock pigeons and wood pigeons (Columba livia and C. palumbus, respectively) [10,11] but cases of astrovirus detection in the Oriental turtle dove have not been previously established.…”

“…On the contrary, we found that the duck astroviruses of Astrovirus 3 species are more diverse phylogenetically and form two different clades: one includes most of the viruses of Greater scaup, the other clade includes an isolate from the Common teal. Thus, our data con rmed that the presence of AAstV is relatively high among wild birds of the Anatidae family (including species from this study) [9,11,12]. Columbidae astroviruses were presented in rock pigeons and wood pigeons (Columba livia and C. palumbus, respectively) [10,11] but cases of astrovirus detection in the Oriental turtle dove have not been previously established.…”

Avastrovirus (AAstV) is a genus of bird viruses infected are associated with avian diseases, including enteritis, growth retardation, nephritis and hepatitis leading to economic losses to farms and affecting food production worldwide. Despite numerous studies, data on diversity, phylogeny and epidemiology are presented mainly for poultry viruses. Studies on astroviruses of wild bird population highlight broad genetic diversity of viruses and limited understanding of their biological and ecological properties. In this study, we detected avastrovirus for the first time in wild migratory birds of the families Anatidae and Columbidae from Sakhalin Island, North Pacific Ocean. Phylogenetic analysis data showed the presence of Avastrovirus 2 and Avastrovirus 3 in wild doves and wild ducks, respectively. The data obtained shed light on the circulation of astroviruses on Sakhalin Island, which is crossed by East Asian–Australasian Flyway.

There is growing interest in emerging viruses that can cause serious or lethal disease in humans and animals. The proliferation of cloacal virome studies, mainly focused on poultry and other domestic birds, reveals a wide variety of viruses, although their pathogenic significance is currently uncertain. Analysis of viruses detected in wild birds is complex and often biased towards waterfowl because of the obvious interest in avian influenza or other zoonotic viruses. Less is known about the viruses present in the order Passeriformes, which comprises approximately 60% of extant bird species. This review aims to compile the most significant contributions on the DNA/RNA viruses affecting passerines, from traditional and metagenomic studies. It highlights that most passerine species have never been sampled. Especially the RNA viruses from Flaviviridae, Orthomyxoviridae and Togaviridae are considered emerging because of increased incidence or avian mortality/morbidity, spread to new geographical areas or hosts and their zoonotic risk. Arguably poxvirus, and perhaps other virus groups, could also be considered “emerging viruses”. However, many of these viruses have only recently been described in passerines using metagenomics and their role in the ecosystem is unknown. Finally, it is noteworthy that only one third of the viruses affecting passerines have been officially recognized.
