Summary. The paper presents an analysis of own clinical and experimental data on the participation of ducks in the possible emergence of swine alpha-coronavirus — a virus of endemic diarrhea (PED-CoV), as well as of the porcine beta-coronavirus threats (hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus, PHE-CoV) in the COVID pandemia context. The coronavirus of duck enteritis (DE-CoV) was studied in the nineties of the twentieth century: biodiversity of its morphology includes the morphological variants identical to the morphology of PED-CoV and PHE-CoV. Moreover, hemagglutinins of all these viruses have a bilateral affinity among them on the level 24–42%. Obtained data suggest the real risk of ducks’ participation in the emergence of at least alpha-coronavirus infections in pigs. There are also threats of the emergence of porcine beta-coronavirus infection under the influence of COVID-19 in industrial pig herds

Keywords: duck enteritis, porcine epidemic diarrhea, porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis, electron microscopy
