potential Pandemic risks from Influenza D and Canine coronavirus
Research indicates a need for preparation to mitigate the risk of future pandemics stemming from the potential for influenza D virus and canine coronavirus to develop efficient human-to-human transmissibility. Researchers are advocating for increased virus monitoring, the development of more reliable diagnostic tests, and the creation of new treatments and vaccines.
While influenza D virus has not yet been linked to severe infections in humans, exposure has been detected in those with occupational contact with cattle. Canine coronavirus has been associated with human infections, but the full extent of its impact on the population is currently unknown due to a lack of routine diagnostic testing.
recent Findings & Research:
* Influenza D Virus: A 2020 review in Current Opinion in Virology details the characteristics of influenza D virus and its potential for zoonotic transmission. (Liu et al.,2020)
* Canine Coronavirus: Studies published in Clinical Infectious Diseases in both 2022 (Lednicky et al.) and 2022 (Vlasova et al.) report the isolation of novel canine coronaviruses from human patients, highlighting the possibility of zoonotic transmission. A 2022 study also found evidence of exposure to influenza D virus among people with occupational contact with cattle (White et al., 2016).
* Emerging Threats: A 2026 study in Emerging Infectious Diseases specifically addresses influenza D and canine coronavirus HuPn-2018 as emerging respiratory virus threats. (Gray et al., 2026)
