Type A influenza viruses (IAVs) cause significant infections in humans and multiple species of animals including pigs, horses, birds, dogs and some marine animals. They are of complicated phylogenetic diversity and distribution, and analysis of their phylogenetic diversity and distribution from a panorama view has not been updated for multiple years. 139,872 protein sequences of IAVs from GenBank were selected, and they were aligned and phylogenetically analyzed using the software tool MEGA 7.0. Lineages and subordinate lineages were classified according to the topology of the phylogenetic trees and the host, temporal and spatial distribution of the viruses, and designated using a novel universal nomenclature system. Large phylogenetic trees of the two external viral genes (HA and NA) and six internal genes (PB2, PB1, PA, NP, MP and NS) were constructed, and the diversity and the host, temporal and spatial distribution of these genes were calculated and statistically analyzed. Various features regarding the diversity and distribution of IAVs were confirmed, revised or added through this study, as compared with previous reports. Lineages and subordinate lineages were classified and designated for each of the genes based on the updated panorama views. The panorama views of phylogenetic diversity and distribution of IAVs and their nomenclature system were updated and assumed to be of significance for studies and communication of IAVs.

Bovine adenovirus (BAdV) is associated with respiratory and enteric diseases in cattle. In this study, the complete genomic sequence of a novel BAdV strain (named BAdV/LN/CHN/2023) was sequenced and annotated using the next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The viral genome comprises 32,391 base pairs with a GC content of 44.93%, encoding 33 predicted open reading frames (ORFs), consistent with the genomic organization of mastadenoviruses. Comparative genomic analysis confirmed that BAdV/LN/CHN/2023 contains conserved structural and functional motifs characteristic of the genus Mastadenovirus. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that BAdV/LN/CHN/2023 shares low similarity with all currently recognized bovine mastadenoviruses classified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). In addition, an open reading frame (ORF) encoding the 146R protein was annotated in this strain; this feature has not been identified in any previously recognized bovine mastadenoviruses. This study presents the first full-length genomic sequence of a putative BAdV-11 strain, and based on ICTV criteria, we propose that this strain represents a novel mastadenovirus species, supported by phylogenetic distance and genomic divergence. Our findings expand the known genetic diversity of BAdVs and contribute to a better understanding of their evolutionary relationships.
