Avian respiratory viruses are an important cause of economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide, from loss of production as well as from additional costs of diagnostics, vaccines, and antimicrobials to prevent and treat secondary infections. Three avian viruses (avian influenza virus-AIV, Newcastle disease virus -NDV-, and infectious laryngotracheitis virus- ILTV) are the most impor…
Innate immune responses are the most profound, generic and highly efficient means of host defense against invading pathogens including viruses. Wild birds act as reservoir for several viruses and thus posing continuous threats to both livestock and human beings. Viruses belonging to three main virus families are often found in wild birds: Orthomyxoviridae, Paramyxoviridae and Coronavirida…

Viral zoonoses are diseases transmitted between animals and humans, with great importance in public health worldwide, causing thousands of deaths every year. Among the zoonotic viruses, bats have been proposed as probable reservoirs that originated coronaviruses, as well as several other highly relevant viruses, such as Ebola and rabies. Until now, more than 11,000 virus sequences have be…
