Abstract: Viral diseases had become the major factor of emerging animal diseases in recent years, which were generally unpredictable and caused heavy losses to the livestock production. Hence, how to rapidly diagnose and confirm the principle pathogen was a key factor for taking preventive measures. Traditional diagnostic methods of emerging epidemic were usually conducted by respective removal of known pathogen and combined with the clinical experiences. Accompanying with the progression of molecular biological and sequencing technology, direct detection of unknown virus from samples had been successfully developed. Moreover, these methods became the primary means for unknown epidemic diagnosis. This paper reviewed the unknown virus detecting methods and its application in animal viral disease diagnosis.
