Bovine Astrovirus—A Comprehensive Review

Bovine astrovirus (BoAstV) is a small non-enveloped virus with a single-stranded positive-sense RNA. In 1978, BoAstV was first found in calf diarrhea fecal samples in the United Kingdom and since then it has been reported in many other countries. It has wide tissue tropism and can infect multiple or...

description Bovine astrovirus (BoAstV) is a small non-enveloped virus with a single-stranded positive-sense RNA. In 1978, BoAstV was first found in calf diarrhea fecal samples in the United Kingdom and since then it has been reported in many other countries. It has wide tissue tropism and can infect multiple organs, including the intestine, nerves and respiratory tract. Since BoAstV is prevalent in healthy as well as clinically infected bovines, and is mostly associated with co-infection with other viruses, the pathogenic nature of BoAstV is still unclear. At present, there are no stable passage cell lines available for the study of BoAstV and animal model experiments have not been described. In addition, it has been reported that BoAstV may have the possibility of cross-species transmission. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge about BoAstV, including the epidemiology, evolution analysis, detection methods, pathogenesis and potential cross species transmission, to provide reference for further research of BoAstV.
