Fecal virome characterization of dairy cows with winter dysentery reveals bovine torovirus, enterovirus F, a novel and recombinant enterovirus I, and a putative novel protoparvovirus. [Preprint].

ABSTRACT.- Background: Winter dysentery (WD) is an acute diarrheal disease of adult cattle with a significant impact on milk production. Although bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is usually considered the primary etiological agent, other viruses may contribute to the disease. In this study, we investigated a WD outbreak in a bovine
dairy herd in Uruguay through shotgun metagenomic sequencing and molecular virology techniques.
