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.
These bees often suffer infestations of varroa mites, which are vectors for deformed wing virus, [31] as a result, this virus has become one of the most widely distributed and contagious insect viruses on the planet. [32] The virus causes stunted wings and as a result, the infected bees are unable to leave the hive and forage for nectar. [31]

Zoonoses can be caused by a range of disease pathogens such as emergent viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites; of 1,415 pathogens known to infect humans, 61% were zoonotic. [11] Most human diseases originated in non-humans; however, only diseases that routinely involve non-human to human transmission, such as rabies, are considered direct ...
Not all viruses are harmful, and many don’t infect humans. But ones that do cause can cause COVID, flu, hepatitis, shingles, herpes, measles, colds and many other illnesses.
The number of viral spillover events of these four viruses from animals to humans increased by 5% annually from 1963 through 2019. ... The duo of viruses caused more than 90% of the 17,000-plus ...
A feline zoonosis is a viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoan, nematode or arthropod infection that can be transmitted to humans from the domesticated cat, Felis catus. Some of these diseases are reemerging and newly emerging infections or infestations caused by zoonotic pathogens transmitted by cats. In some instances, the cat can display ...
