BACKGROUND: This study investigated clinical and laboratory characteristics of human bocavirus type 1 (HBoV1)-plastic bronchiolitis (PB), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP)-associated plastic bronchitis (PB) and MP-NPB in children, highlighting inflammation, coagulation, and bronchoscopic needs.
METHODS: Data on preschool children with PB during HBoV1 or MP infection were collected, comparing MP-PB to severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.
RESULTS: Compared with the MP-PB group, the HBoV1-PB group, with younger children, had significantly milder clinical symptoms but higher WBC counts (p = .028). The MP-PB group exhibited notably elevated Fibrinogen (p = .045) and d-dimer levels (p < .001). When contrasting the MP-PB with the MP-NPB group, children in MP-PB group still had higher levels of d-dimer and increased inflammatory indicators such as C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, lactate dehydrogenase, and interleukin-6, which were significantly elevated compared with the MP-NPB group. MP-PB showed a higher prevalence of plastic bronchial casts in lower lobes (p = .016) and a dominance of neutrophils in BALF cytology. Additionally, children in the MP-PB group tended to undergo a greater number of bronchoscopies.
CONCLUSIONS: This study identifies key differences in plastic bronchitis in children due to HBoV1 and MP, highlighting HBoV1\'s milder inflammation in younger kids and MP\'s link to severe inflammatory and coagulation responses, guiding clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Human parvovirus B19 (HPVB19) belongs to Parvoviridae, a genus of erythrovirus, and has been associated with various human diseases, and HPVB19 infection is one of the most important causes of refractory anemia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). This study retrospectively analyzed 24 patients with HSCT combined with HPVB19 infection to collate and summarize the clinical presentation, treatment, and regression of patients with combined HPVB19 infection after allo-HSCT and provide experience in the management of HPVB19 infection after allo-HSCT. The median age of the patients with HPVB19 infection was 25 years, and the median time of infection occurrence was +107 days after transplantation, and 22 (91.7% ) had anemia with a median hemoglobin (HGB) level of 77.5 (46-149) g/L, and 13 (54.2% ) had new-onset anemia or persistent decline in HGB. The median length of hospital stay was 19 days. Among patients with new-onset anemia or persistent decline in HGB, the mean increase in HGB after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and/or antiviral therapy was 15.69 g/L, and treatment was effective in 10 (76.92% ) patients. HPVB19 infection should be alerted to the development of refractory anemia after HSCT; despite the lack of specific treatment, the overall prognosis of HPVB19-infected patients is good.

Feline bocavirus (FBoV) is a globally distributed linear, single-stranded DNA virus infect cats, currently classified into three distinct genotypes. Although FBoV can lead to systemic infections, its complete pathogenic potential remains unclear. In this study, 289 blood samples were collected from healthy cats in Harbin, revealing an overall FBoV prevalence of 12.1%. Notably, genotypes 1 and 3 of FBoV were found co-circulating among the cat population in Harbin. Additionally, recombination events were detected, particularly in the newly discovered NG/104 and DL/102 strains. Furthermore, negative selection sites were predominantly observed across the protein coding genes of FBoV. These findings suggest a co-circulation of genetically diverse FBoV strains among cats in Harbin, indicate that purifying selection is the primary driving force shaping the genomic evolution of FBoV, and also underscore the importance of comprehensive surveillance efforts to enhance our understanding of the epidemiology and evolutionary characteristics of FBoV.

Short-beak and dwarf syndrome (SBDS) is caused by novel goose parvovirus (NGPV) infection, which leads to farm economic losses. Our research aimed to investigate the potential of administering isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in alleviating SBDS in ducks. Eight wild LAB strains were isolated from duck feces and their biosecurity was investigated in both duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) and live ducks. Moreover, the LAB strains exhibited no detrimental effects on bone metabolism levels and facilitated the tight junction proteins (TJPs) mRNA expression, and contributing to the mitigation of inflammation in healthy ducks. Subsequently, we conducted in vitrol and in vivo experiments to assess the impact of LAB on NGPV infection. The LAB strains significantly reduced the viral load of NGPV and downregulated the mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory factors in DEF. Additionally, LAB treatment alleviated SBDS in NGPV-infected ducks. Furthermore, LAB treatment alleviated intestinal damage, and reduced the inflammatory response, while also mitigating bone resorption in NGPV-infected ducks. In conclusion, the LAB strains isolated from duck feces have favorable biosecurity and alleviate SBDS in ducks, and the mechanism related to LAB improves intestinal barrier integrity, alleviates inflammation, and reduces bone resorption. Our study presents a novel concept for the prevention and treatment of NGPV, thereby establishing a theoretical foundation for the future development of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of NGPV.

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is one of the main pathogens causing toxic diarrhea in Chinese dogs, is the cause of large-scale epidemic of dogs, and poses a great threat to the dog industry in China. Rapid, sensitive, and specific CPV testing facilitates the timely diagnosis and treatment of sick dogs. The aim of this study was to build a LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12b platform for CPV detection. The loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique was combined with CRISPR-Cas12b analysis to establish a \"two-step\" and \"one-tube\" CRISPR/Cas12b rapid CPV method, respectively. The detection system was constructed with specific LAMP primers and single guide RNA (sgRNA) for the highly conserved short fragment of the CPV gene, which could be detected within 1 h without cross-reaction with the other viruses causing canine diarrhea. The detection limits of both \"two-step\" and \"one-tube\" CRISPR/Cas12b reactions were 10-1 copies per μL, which was 100 times more sensitive than qPCR and LAMP. In order to achieve point-of-care testing (POCT) of CPV, a one-tube LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12b nucleic acid extraction and detection platform based on magnetic nanoparticle enrichment technology was established to achieve \"sample in-result out\". The results of this method for simulated samples were compared with those of quantitative real-time PCR; the results showed 100% consistency, and the time was shorter, which could be used to detect the diseased dogs earlier and provide a basis for clinical diagnosis. The LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12b method established in this study provides a sensitive and specific method for rapid detection of CPV, and provides technical support for rapid diagnosis of CPV.

Bufavirus (BuV) was first identified in feces from children with acute diarrhea, and a genetically related Canine bufavirus (CBuV) was first reported in Italy in 2018. In this study, through the investigation of CBuV in 622 anal swabs from dogs with diarrhea symptoms collected from various provinces in northern, central and eastern China during 2018-2022, 14 samples were detected to be positive. And 5 samples were from dogs co-infected with other canine diarrhea related viruses, which consist of CPV-2, CDV and CCoV. The complete genome sequences (4219 nt) of the fourteen strains were amplified and sequenced. Through comparative analysis with 51 reference BuV strains, six strains might recombinate from the CBuV strains (HUN/2012/22, CaBuV/9AS/2005/ITA and CaBuV/35/2016/ITA) in Hungary and Italy as the parents, and two genetic recombination events from various parents were predicted to occur on the BUV-422 strain. Combined analyzing the phylogenetic tree and sequence alignment, it was found that these CBuVs are highly conserved in the nonstructural protein NS1, but indeed various amino acid mutation sites in the capsid protein VP2, and even some amino acid sites coincide with putative protein plastic regions and potential epitopes. The BUV-422 and BUV-512 strains show sequential mutation sites identical to the divergent strains of CaBuV/9AS/2005/ITA and CaBuV/35/2016/ITA. This study would enrich the molecular data of CBuV in China and provide essential reference for the epidemiological research and vaccine development of CBuV in the future.

A 19-year-old male patient with high-risk acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia received haploidentical stem cell transplantation. He developed anemia repeatedly and parvovirus B19 nucleic acid was positive in blood plasma. The patient was diagnosed with cold agglutinin syndrome and multiple organ dysfunction including respiratory failure and hepatitis. In the conflict between viral infection and the treatment of cold agglutinin syndrome, we provided supportive treatment, complement inhibitors to control hemolysis, and antiviral therapy. After timely glucocorticoid and immunosuppressant therapy, the patient had achieved a good response.

Migratory wild birds can carry various pathogens, such as influenza A virus, which can spread to globally and cause disease outbreaks and epidemics. Continuous epidemiological surveillance of migratory wild birds is of great significance for the early warning, prevention, and control of epidemics. To investigate the pathogen infection status of migratory wild birds in eastern China, fecal samples were collected from wetlands to conduct pathogen surveillance. The results showed that duck orthoreovirus (DRV) and goose parvovirus (GPV) nucleic acid were detected positive in the fecal samples collected from wild ducks, egrets, and swan. Phylogenetic analysis of the amplified viral genes reveals that the isolates were closely related to the prevalent strains in the regions involved in East Asian-Australasian (EAA) migratory flyway. Phylogenetic analysis of the amplified viral genes confirmed that they were closely related to circulating strains in the regions involved in the EAA migration pathway. The findings of this study have expanded the host range of the orthoreovirus and parvovirus, and revealed possible virus transmission between wild migratory birds and poultry.

Recombinant Muscovy duck parvovirus (rMDPV) is a product of genetic recombination between classical Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV) and goose parvovirus (GPV). The recombination event took place within a 1.1-kb DNA segment located in the middle of the VP3 gene, and a 187-bp sequence extending from the P9 promoter to the 5\' initiation region of the Rep1 ORF. This resulted in the alteration of five amino acids within VP3. Despite these genetic changes, the precise influence of recombination and amino acid mutations on the pathogenicity of rMDPV remains ambiguous. In this study, based on the rMDPV strain ZW and the classical MDPV strain YY, three chimeric viruses (rZW-mP9, rZW-mPR187, and rYY-rVP3) and the five amino acid mutations-introduced mutants (rZW-g5aa and rYY-5aa(ZW)) were generated using reverse genetic technology. When compared to the parental virus rZW, rZW-g5aa exhibited a prolonged mean death time (MDT) and a decreased median lethal dose (ELD50) in embryonated duck eggs. In contrast, rYY-5aa(ZW) did not display significant differences in MDT and ELD50 compared to rYY. In 2-day-old Muscovy ducklings, infection with rZW-g5aa and rYY-5aa(ZW) resulted in mortality rates of only 20% and 10%, respectively, while infections with the three chimeric viruses (rZW-mP9, rZW-mPR187, rYY-rVP3) and rZW still led to 100% mortality. Notably, rYY-rVP3, containing the VP3 region from strain ZW, exhibited 50% mortality in 6-day-old Muscovy ducklings and demonstrated significant horizontal transmission. Collectively, our findings indicate that recombination and consequent amino acid changes in VP3 have a synergistic impact on the heightened virulence of rMDPV in Muscovy ducklings.

Amdoparvoviruses infect various carnivores, including mustelids, canids, skunks, and felids. Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) belongs to the prototypical species Amdoparvovirus carnivoran1. Here, we identified a novel amdoparvovirus in farmed Asian badgers (Meles meles), and we named this virus \"Meles meles amdoparvovirus\" (MMADV). A total of 146 clinical samples were collected from 134 individual badgers, and 30.6% (41/134) of the sampled badgers tested positive for amdoparvovirus by PCR. Viral DNA was detected in feces, blood, spleen, liver, lung, and adipose tissue from these animals. Viral sequences from eight samples were determined, five of which represented nearly full-length genome sequences (4,237-4,265 nt). Six serum samples tested positive by PCR, CIEP, and IAT, four of which had high antibody titers (> 512) against AMDV-G. Twenty-six of the 41 amdoparvovirus-positive badgers showed signs of illness, and necropsy revealed lesions in their organs. Sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis of the viral NS1 and VP2 genes of these badger amdoparvoviruses showed that their NS1 proteins shared 62.6%-88.8% sequence identity with known amdoparvoviruses, and they clustered phylogenetically into two related clades. The VP2 proteins shared 76.6%-97.2% identity and clustered into two clades, one of which included raccoon dog and arctic fox amdoparvovirus (RFAV), and the other of which did not include other known amdoparvoviruses. According to the NS1-protein-based criterion for parvovirus species demarcation, the MMADV isolate from farm YS should be classified as a member of a new species of the genus Amdoparvovirus. In summary, we have discovered a novel MMADV and other badger amdoparvoviruses that naturally infect Asian badgers and are possibly pathogenic in badgers.
