Resumen
Los virus HoBi son un grupo de Pestivirus emergentes que afecta a bovinos y bubalinos y son contaminantesmuy comunes de productos biológicos. Luego de ser identificados por primera vez en Alemania a partirmuestras brasileras en el año 2004, han sido reportados numerosos aislamientos de virus HoBi en Brasil,Italia y algunos países asiáticos. De este modo, este patógeno ha generado preocupación en veterinarios yproductores de rodeos bovinos y bubalinos al haber estado involucrado en eventos de cuadros respiratoriosseveros, abortos y animales persistentemente infectados.Debido a la falta de un sistema de vigilancia activo para estos nuevos patógenos y a que puede confundirsecon Diarrea Viral Bovina, no se conoce su verdadero impacto sobre las poblaciones bovinas. En Argentina,la presencia de los virus HoBi no ha sido estudiada, ni desde el punto de vista epidemiológico ni en cuantoa su potencial como agente adventicio en productos biológicos y líneas celulares. El objetivo de este artículoes brindar un análisis de la situación epidemiológica mundial de los virus HoBi para generar un acercamientoy despertar el interés de los veterinarios, virólogos y autoridades sanitarias por este patógeno emergente.Es fundamental lograr una mayor inversión y participación en actividades de investigación interdisciplinariaspara aclarar aspectos básicos de la epidemiología de estos nuevos patógenos y de su posible impacto en lossistemas productivos de los países de Sudamérica.
HoBi-like viruses are a group of emerging Pestiviruses which affects cattle and water buffaloes and are common contaminants of biological products. After the first detection from Brazilian samples in Germany in 2004, several HoBi-like isolates have been reported in Brazil, Italy and some countries of Asia. Thus, this pathogen has caused concern to cattle and buffalo farmers and veterinarians as it has been involved in events of severe respiratory symptoms, abortions and persistently infected animals and mucosal like-disease. Due to the lack of an active surveillance system for HoBi-like viruses and since infections with them can be mistaken for bovine viral diarrhea, the true impact on cattle populations is unknown. In Argentina, the existence of HoBi-like viruses has not been studied, nor from an epidemiological point of view or in terms of its potential as an adventitious agent in biological products and cell lines. The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the worldwide epidemiological situation of Ho-Bi-like viruses, in order to generate an approach and to awaken interest in veterinarians, virologists and health authorities for this emerging pathogen. It is essential to achieve greater investment and participation in interdisciplinary research to clarify basic aspects of the epidemiology of this new pathogen and to establish its possible impact on the productive systems of the South American countries.
