Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) has dual tropisms that can trigger enteric and respiratory diseases in cattle. Despite its global distribution, BCoV field strains from Brazil remain underexplored in studies investigating the virus's worldwide circulation. Another research gap involves the comparative analysis of S protein sequences in BCoV isolates from passages in cell lines versus direct sequencing from clinical samples. Therefore, one of the objectives of our study was to conduct a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of BCoV strains identified from Brazil, including a respiratory strain obtained during this study, comparing them with global and ancestral BCoV strains. Additionally, we performed a comparative analysis between wild-type BCoV directly sequenced from the clinical sample (nasal secretion) and the cell culture-adapted strain, utilizing the Sanger method. The field strain and multiple cell passage in cell culture (HRT-18) adapted BCoV strain (BOV19 NS) detected in this study were characterized through molecular and phylogenetic analyses based on partial fragments of 1,448 nt covering the hypervariable region of the S gene. The analyses have demonstrated that different BCoV strains circulating in Brazil, and possibly Brazilian variants, constitute a new genotype (putative G15 genotype). Compared with the ancestral prototype (Mebus strain) of BCoV, 33 nt substitutions were identified of which 15 resulted in non-synonymous mutations (nine transitions and six transversions). Now, compared with the wild-type strain was identified only one nt substitution in nt 2,428 from the seventh passage onwards, which resulted in transversion, neutral-neutral charge, and one substitution of asparagine for tyrosine at aa residue 810 (N810Y).
