The Puffinosis coronavirus (English, also Puffinosis virus , abbreviation: PV ; German translation not known) is a subspecies (subspecies) of the virus type Murine coronavirus , the type of the virus genus Betacoronavirus , which was first isolated in 1982 from mice from which tissue was obtained infected Atlantic shearwaters ( Puffinus puffinus ).

This particular disease occurs as an epizootic infection in hatching and young Atlantic shearwaters.

Puffinose is restricted to the Welsh island of Skomer and occurs there from August to September each year. Diseased animals show blisters on the webbed , a conjunctivitis and a spastic paralysis of the lower limbs.

Since the Puffinosis a virus hemagglutinin esterase protein ( HE protein , English hemagglutinin esterase ) in its viral envelope possesses, it became 2 (the group HCoV OC43- -like viruses) within the genus Beta coronavirus associated.

The subspecies formed its own virus species until around 2008/2009, which was then combined with the mouse hepatitis virus and the rat coronavirus to form the species murine coronavirus .
