Insect-specific Alphamesonivirus-1 (Mesoniviridae) in lymph node and lung tissues from two horses with acute respiratory syndrome

Lucija Jurišić, Heidi Auerswald, Maurilia Marcacci…·Alessio Lorusso

This paper reports the first detection of Alphamesonivirus-1 in mammals, specifically horses with acute respiratory syndrome, challenging the belief that mesoniviruses are insect-specific.
