Identification of equine hepacivirus infections in France: Facts and Physiopathological insights
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the main causes of end stage liver diseases (cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma) in humans. In vivo studies have been hampered by a lack of access to relevant animal models. Until recently, the genus Hepacivirus was comprised of seven HCV genotypes, plus GBV-B that infects New World monkeys.

Abstract Factor VIII and IX clotting factor concentrates manufactured from pooled plasma have been identified as potent sources of virus infection in persons with hemophilia (PWHs) in the 1970s and 1980s. To investigate the range and diversity of viruses over this period, we analysed 24 clotting factor concentrates for several blood‐borne viruses ...

Proposed update to the taxonomy of the genera Hepacivirus and Pegivirus within the Flaviviridae family [PDF]
Proposals are described for the assignment of recently reported viruses, infecting rodents, bats and other mammalian species, to new species within the Hepacivirus and Pegivirus genera (family Flaviviridae). Assignments into 14 Hepacivirus species (Hepacivirus A– N) and 11 Pegivirus species (Pegivirus A– K) are based

Electron microscopy: The key to resolve RNA viruses replication organelles
Positive‐strand RNA viruses replicate their genome within specialized virus‐induced intracellular compartments called “replication organelles”. Technological advances in electron microscopy allowed detailed characterization of such structures unveiling their three‐dimensional architecture and molecular composition.

A highly divergent hepacivirus-like flavivirus in domestic ducks
Using random amplification and reverse transcription-PCR, a novel RNA virus was detected in sera of domestic ducks. The full genome of the virus was determined for three strains, identifying the first hepacivirus-like flavivirus in birds. The virus, that we tentatively named duck hepacivirus-like virus (DuHV), possesses several unique molecular ...

Metformin and statins reduce hepatocellular carcinoma risk in chronic hepatitis C patients with failed antiviral therapy [PDF]
Background/Aims Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients who failed antiviral therapy are at increased risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study assessed the potential role of metformin and statins, medications for diabetes mellitus (DM) and ...

Equine hepacivirus persistent infection in a horse with chronic wasting
Equine hepacivirus is the closest homologue of hepatitis C virus. Limited data on the clinical features of this infection are available. We report the identification of a horse with high-titre viremia by equine hepacivirus. Over a 15-month follow-up, the clinical signs and the viremic status persisted, suggesting a chronic evolution.
