Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is one of the important pathogens that cause calf diarrhea (CD), winter dysentery (WD), and the bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC), and spreads worldwide. An infection of BCoV in cattle can lead to death of young animals, stunted growth, reduced milk production, and milk quality, thus bringing serious economic losses to the bovine industry. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent and control the spread of BCoV. Here, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the prevalence of BCoV in cattle in China before 2022. A total of 57 articles regarding the prevalence of BCoV in cattle in China were collected from five databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, CNKI, VIP, and Wan Fang). Based on the inclusion criteria, a total of 15,838 samples were included, and 6,136 were positive cases. The overall prevalence of BCoV was 30.8%, with the highest prevalence rate (60.5%) identified in South China and the lowest prevalence (15.6%) identified in Central China. We also analyzed other subgroup information, included sampling years, sample sources, detection methods, breeding methods, age, type of cattle, presence of diarrhea, and geographic and climatic factors. The results indicated that BCoV was widely prevalent in China. Among all subgroups, the sample sources, detection methods, breeding methods, and presence or absence of diarrheal might be potential risk factors responsible for BCoV prevalence. It is recommended to strengthen the detection of BCoV in cattle, in order to effectively control the spread of BCoV.

The scientific community's interest in natural compounds with antiviral properties has considerably increased after the emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), especially for their potential use in the treatment of the COVID-19 infection. From this perspective, bovine coronavirus (BCoV), member of the genus β-CoV, represents a valuable virus model to study human β-CoVs, bypassing the risks of handling highly pathogenic and contagious viruses. Pimarane diterpenes are a significant group of secondary metabolites produced by phytopathogenic fungi, including several species.

Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is a significant pathogen in cattle, and its virological analysis has been hampered by the difficulty in isolating and culturing field isolates with high titers. Here, we successfully generated recombinant BCoV using an infectious bacterial artificial chromosome DNA clone co-expressing the BCoV spike (S) and hemagglutinin-esterase (HE) proteins. We also investigated the role of trypsin in BCoV culture using a recombinant virus expressing the ZsGreen reporter gene (Rec-BCoV-Kakegawa-ZsGreen).

Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) causes neonatal diarrhea and respiratory diseases in cattle. Detection of BCoV on surfaces and fomites in dairy facilities is rarely reported. We examined the presence of BCoV on various surfaces of a dairy farm with previous BCoV-positive cattle.

Coronavirus non-structural protein 1 (nsp1) is a pathogenic determinant of . Previous studies demonstrated that the nsp1 of various coronaviruses induces host shutoff through a variety of mechanisms; however, there is little information on the function of bovine coronavirus (BCoV) nsp1. We aimed to characterize the host gene expression suppression function of BCoV nsp1.

Bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) is one of the primary causes of morbidity, mortality, and economic loss in cattle worldwide. Accurate and rapid identification of causative pathogenic agents is essential for effective disease management and control. In this study, a novel multiplex fluorescence-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay was developed for the simultaneous detection of eight major pathogens associated with BRDC.
