PHEV, a betacoronavirus commonly found in nursery pigs, initially causes mild respiratory issues by replicating in the upper airway tract. In the second phase, it can infect brain neurons, leading to vomiting and wasting disease.
Usutuvirus is a common cause of mortality in different songbirds and has also been found in ducks. The virus is transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. Zoonotic transmission to humans is possible but the risk is very low.
