Honey bee infected with deformed wing virus. Arthropods are the largest group of animals and have shown to be a major reservoir of different viruses, both insect-specific viruses (ISV) and viruses that can infect both vertebrates and invertebrates, more known as arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). Insect-specific viruses are, as the name ...
Parvoviruses are among the smallest viruses (hence the name, from Latin parvus meaning small) and are 18–28 nm in diameter. [16] Parvoviruses can cause disease in some animals, including starfish and humans. Because the viruses require actively dividing cells to replicate, the type of tissue infected varies with the age of the animal.
Cross-species transmission is the most significant cause of disease emergence in humans and other species. [citation needed] Wildlife zoonotic diseases of microbial origin are also the most common group of human emerging diseases, and CST between wildlife and livestock has appreciable economic impacts in agriculture by reducing livestock productivity and imposing export restrictions.

The researchers looked at nearly 12 million virus genomes and detected almost 3,000 instances of viruses jumping from one species to another. Of those, 79% involved a virus going from one animal ...
[6]: 49 Different types of viruses can infect only a limited range of hosts and many are species-specific. Some, such as smallpox virus for example, can infect only one species—in this case humans, [13]: 643 and are said to have a narrow host range. Other viruses, such as rabies virus, can infect different species of mammals and are said to ...
A dozen more dairy herds in California have been stricken with bird flu as the virus continues to infect animals and humans around the U.S.. Nearly 700 herds in the state — or 71 percent of all ...
“The virus enters your body through contaminated food, water, surfaces or through direct contact with an infected person, and infects cells in your small intestine," says Chung.
