The 'Breda' bovine torovirus was later found in 1979 while investigation in a dairy farm in Breda. (wikipedia.org)
The information from immunofluorescence studies and morphology of the bovine Toroviruses (BToV) intestinal cells has shown similarities among the EToVs and BToVs.Torovirus share some common characteristics with members of the related family Coronaviridae as they are round, pleomorphic, enveloped viruses about 120 to 140 nm in diameter. (wikipedia.org)
The genomic length of bovine torovirus is approximately 28.5 kb that is mainly comprised by one gene, replicase gene (20.2 kb). (wikipedia.org)
Genome length of porcine Torovirus was found to be 28301 bp and possess 79% sequence identity with the bovine Torovirus genome. (wikipedia.org)
To comprehensively determine the amounts, species and structures of noncanonical transcripts for bovine coronavirus in HRT-18 cells and mouse hepatitis virus A59, a mouse coronavirus, in mouse L cells and mice, nanopore direct RNA sequencing was employed. (biomedcentral.com)
Humans1
Mostly torovirus infecting humans are probably closely related to BRV or BEV and relate to any previous history of some enteric disease or infection. (wikipedia.org)
Family1
Torovirus is a genus of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses in the order Nidovirales and family Tobaniviridae. (wikipedia.org)
Equine torovirus3
Equine torovirus (EToV) was accidentally found in the rectal sample from a horse who was experiencing severe diarrhea. (wikipedia.org)
Among various species of the Toroviruses, only equine torovirus (EToV) can be grown in the cell culture medium due to which EToVs have been most extensively studied. (wikipedia.org)
