Novel Herpesvirus in a Wilson's Plover (Charadrius wilsonia: Charadriidae, Charadriiformes) in Piauí State, Northeastern Brazil.

Key Points

This research aims to identify the presence of herpesviruses in wild birds, specifically targeting a new strain observed in Wilson's Plover.
Conducted a molecular investigation of herpesviruses in 228 wild birds
Performed genetic analysis for strain classification
Identified the virus in a migratory Wilson's Plover (Charadrius wilsonia)
Detected a new herpesvirus strain in Wilson's Plover, tentatively named Charadrius alphaherpesvirus 1
Expanded the known host range of herpesviruses within Charadriiformes

Abstract

Molecular investigation of the occurrence of herpesviruses in 228 wild birds in Piauí, northeastern Brazil, identified a herpesvirus in a migratory Wilson's Plover (Charadrius wilsonia). Genetic analysis supported its classification as a new strain, tentatively named Charadrius alphaherpesvirus 1, within the genus Mardivirus, broadening the herpesvirus host range in Charadriiformes.
