Emerging viral diseases continue to have a major global impact on human beings and animals. To be able to take adequate measures in case of an outbreak of an emerging disease, rapid detection of the causative agent is a crucial first step. In this review, various aspects of virus discovery are discussed, with a special focus on recently discovered viruses in birds. Novel viruses with a potential major impact have been discovered in domestic and wild bird species in recent years using various virus discovery methods. Only a few studies report the detection of novel viruses in endangered bird species, although increased knowledge about viruses circulating in these species is important. Additional studies focusing on the exact role of a novel virus in disease and on the impact of a novel virus on bird populations are often lacking. Intensive collaboration between different disciplines is needed to obtain useful information about the role of these novel viruses.
新出现的病毒性疾病继续在全球范围内对人类和动物产生重大影响。为了在新出现疾病爆发时能够采取适当措施，快速检测病原体是关键的第一步。在这篇综述中，讨论了病毒发现的各个方面，特别关注最近在鸟类中发现的病毒。近年来，使用各种病毒发现方法在 domestic 和 wild 鸟类物种中发现了具有潜在重大影响的新型病毒。尽管了解这些物种中传播的病毒的知识很重要，但只有少数研究报告了在濒危鸟类物种中检测到新型病毒。通常缺乏侧重于新型病毒在疾病中的确切作用以及新型病毒对鸟类种群影响的进一步研究。需要不同学科之间的密切合作，以获取有关这些新型病毒作用的有用信息。
