Equine rhinitis viruses, ERV, are small, non-enveloped RNA viruses belonging to the Picornaviridae family, shown to be capable of causing disease in both the upper and lower respiratory tracts of equids. In the 1960s, clinical presentation and some virological features mistakenly led to its inclusion in the Rhinovirus genus. By the 1990s, molecular studies confirmed […] The post Equine rhinitis viruses: Emerging importance in respiratory disease appeared first on Texas A&M Veterinary Me...| Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory
Experts at Johns Hopkins and across the country work together to better understand the behavior and characteristics of respiratory viruses, how our immune system responds to them, and how we can prevent serious illness| The Hub

The pervasive nature of viruses has had its impact throughout the living world. Viral disease can be found in plants, arthropods, protozoa and bacteria, but also in higher animals. Albeit more detailed knowledge of their biological, chemical and physical properties was mounted in the last 50 years, viruses are no modern phenomenon.| News-Medical
