Abstract: Aichivirus,also known as kobuvirus(KoV),is a newly identified genus within the family of small RNA viruses.In 2019,the KoVs were classified into six types including Aichiviru A,B,C,D,E and F by International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses.Aichivirus C infect goats and pigs.Aichivirus C infection in goats has been detected in four countries,including the United States,South Korea,Italy,and China,demonstrating a wide geographic distribution.In 2019,our la-boratory isolated strains of goat Aichivirus C from fecal samples of goats suffering from diarrhea for the first time,confirming it as a new pathogen responsible for diarrhea in lambing goats.This virus is already endemic in several provinces and regions of China.In this paper,we review the pathogenic characteristics,viral genomic features,prevalence,clinical symptoms and pathological changes as well as detection methods,with the aim of providing a reference for further research on Aichivirus C in goats.
