A Novel Subtype of Bovine Hepacivirus Identified in Ticks Reveals the Genetic Diversity and Evolution of Bovine Hepacivirus [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Hepaciviruses represent a group of viruses that pose a significant threat to the health of humans and animals. New members of the genus Hepacivirus in the family Flaviviridae have recently been identified in a wide variety of host species worldwide. Similar to the Hepatitis C virus (HCV), bovine hepacivirus (BovHepV) is hepatotropic and causes acute or

The Detection and Phylogenetic Analysis of Bovine Hepacivirus in China [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2018 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 3.82%.

Immune protection against reinfection with nonprimate hepacivirus [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 Significance Hepatitis C virus (HCV) displays a narrow species tropism severely hampering development of small animal models that are required for vaccine and pathogenesis studies in vivo. The recent discoveries of HCV-related hepaciviruses in diverse hosts offer new opportunities with respect to the development of an immunocompetent animal ...

Acute and chronic infections with nonprimate hepacivirus in young horses [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2016 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 of 12-13 months.

Hepatic immunopathology during occult hepacivirus re-infection
Virology, 2017 Despite drug advances for Hepatitis C virus (HCV), re-infections remain prevalent in high-risk populations. Unfortunately, the role of preexisting viral immunity and how it modulates re-infection is unclear. GBV-B infection of common marmosets is a useful model to study tissue immune responses in hepacivirus infections, and in this study we re ...
