Hepacivirus and the “new triade” : Further evidence for in utero transmission of equine hepacivirus to foals [PDF]
International audienceEquine hepacivirus (EqHV), also referred to as non-primate hepacivirus (NPHV), infects horses —and dogs in some instances— and is closely related to hepatitis C virus (HCV) that has infected up to 3 % of the world’s human population,

First identification of bovine hepacivirus in wild boars
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in humans. Humans were long considered the only hosts of Hepacivirus.

The Detection and Phylogenetic Analysis of Bovine Hepacivirus in China [PDF]
Hepacivirus has been identified in cattle in Africa, Europe, and South America. In this survey of bovine hepacivirus (BovHepV) in 131 serum samples from Chinese cattle herds using RT-PCR, five of 131 sera were BovHepV positive, with the infection rate of

Molecular Determinants of Mouse Adaptation of Rat Hepacivirus
The lack of robust immunocompetent animal models for hepatitis C virus (HCV) impedes vaccine development and studies of immune responses. Norway rat hepacivirus (NrHV) infection in rats shares HCV-defining characteristics, including hepatotropism ...

Presence of bovine hepacivirus in Turkish cattle
Hepatitis C virus (HCV), a worldwide distributed human pathogen, causes one of the most important viral infections in human being. HCV is the type species of the genus Hepacivirus (Flaviviridae) in which recently discovered animal viruses i.e.

The Bank Vole (Clethrionomys glareolus)—Small Animal Model for Hepacivirus Infection [PDF]
Many people worldwide suffer from hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, which is frequently persistent. The lack of efficient vaccines against HCV and the unavailability of or limited compliance with existing antiviral therapies is problematic for health ...

Acute and chronic infections with nonprimate hepacivirus in young horses [PDF]
The recently discovered nonprimate hepacivirus (NPHV) naturally infects horses and is the closest known homolog of hepatitis C virus to date. Within a follow-up study acute field infections were monitored in four young Thoroughbred horses until the ages ...

Presence of two different bovine hepacivirus clusters in Germany
During the last years, genetic information of hepaciviruses (family Flaviviridae), whose type species is the human hepatitis C virus, was detected in a wide range of primates and non‐primate vertebrates.
