1 Feb 2026
Abstract excerpt
This case report describes the unexpected identification and genomic characterization of Batai virus (BATV), an Orthobunyavirus, during routine bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) surveillance on a cattle farm in Hungary. The discovery was facilitated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and highlights the importance of unbiased sequencing in pathogen surveillance. Although BATV currently exhibits...
