Viruses shared between water buffaloes and small ruminants (BuGyKV, BVDV/BDV), and possibly cattle (BoHV2), are marked in bold.
BDV = border disease virus; BoHV2 = bovine alphaherpesvirus 2; BoHV6 = bovine gammaherpesvirus 6; BTV = bluetongue virus; BuGyKV = bubaline-associated gemykrogvirus; BVDV = bovine viral diarrhea virus; LHV = lymphotropic herpesvirus; ND = not detected; OvHV2 = ovine gammaherpesvirus 2; RT-PCR = reverse-transcription PCR; SBV = Schmallenberg virus; unass. = unassigned; VNT = virus neutralization test.
