Isolation and molecular characterization of bovine enteroviruses in Egypt.

ABSTRACT: Enteroviruses belong to the Picornaviridae family and infect a wide range of mammals including cattle. Bovine enterovirus (BEV) has recently been reclassified into E and F serotypes. BEV was first isolated in Egypt in 1966 although it has been known in other countries since the 1950s. In this study, BEV-F2 was isolated from calves with severe diarrhea and the isolated viruses were subjected to molecular characterization. Illumina sequencing of one of the isolates revealed the presence of a complete BEV-F genome sequence. The phylogenetic analysis revealed nucleotide substitutions along the genome in comparison with other known strains of BEV-F (HQ663846, AY508697 and DQ092795). Two primer sets were designed from the 3D and 5'NTR regions and used for the examination of the remaining isolates, which were confirmed to be of the BEV-F2 serotype. The availability of the complete genome sequence of this virus adds to the sequence database of the members of Picornaviridae and should be useful in future molecular studies of BEV.

Project description:Bovine enterovirus (BEV) is a highly infectious pathogen that may cause respiratory and gastrointestinal disease outbreaks in cattle. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and genetic characteristics of BEVs in Guangxi Province, China. A total of 1,168 fecal samples from 97 different bovine farms were collected between October 2021 and July 2022 in Guangxi Province, China. BEV was confirmed using a reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) method targeting the 5' untranslated region (UTR), and isolates were genotyped by sequencing their genomes. The nearly complete genome sequences of eight BEV strains showing cytopathic effects in MDBK cells were determined and analyzed. In total, 125 (10.7%) of 1,168 fecal samples were positive for BEV. BEV infection was significantly associated with farming patterns and clinical symptoms (P < 0.05; odds ratio [OR] > 1). Molecular characterization indicated that five BEV strains from this study belonged to EV-E2 and one strain to EV-E4. Two BEV strains (GXNN2204 and GXGL2215) could not be assigned to a known type. Strain GXGL2215 showed the closest genetic relationship with GX1901 (GenBank accession number MN607030; China) in its VP1 (67.5%) and P1 (74.7%) and with NGR2017 (MH719217; Nigeria) in its polyprotein (72.0%). It was also close to the EV-E4 strain GXYL2213 from this study when the complete genome (81.7%) was compared. Strain GXNN2204 showed the closest genetic relationship with Ho12 (LC150008; Japan) in the VP1 (66.5%), P1 (71.6%), and polyprotein (73.2%). Genome sequence analysis suggested that strains GXNN2204 and GXGL2215 originated from the genomic recombination of EV-E4 and EV-F3 and EV-E2 and EV-E4, respectively. This study reports the cocirculation of multiple BEV types and the identification of two novel BEV strains in Guangxi, China, and it will provide further insights into the epidemiology and evolution of BEV in China. IMPORTANCE Bovine enterovirus (BEV) is a pathogen that causes intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive disease infections in cattle. This study reports on the widespread prevalence and biological characteristics of the different BEV types which currently exist in Guangxi Province, China. It also provides a reference for the study of the prevalence of BEV in China.
