Viruses in Horses with Neurologic and Respiratory Diseases [PDF]
Metagenomics was used to identify viral sequences in the plasma and CSF (cerobrospinal fluid) of 13 horses with unexplained neurological signs and in the plasma and respiratory swabs of 14 horses with unexplained respiratory signs. Equine hepacivirus and

Canine Hepacivirus NS3 Serine Protease Can Cleave the Human Adaptor Proteins MAVS and TRIF [PDF]
Canine hepacivirus (CHV) was recently identified in domestic dogs and horses. The finding that CHV is genetically the virus most closely related to hepatitis C virus (HCV) has raised the question of whether HCV might have evolved as the result of close ...

Phenotype and Fate of Liver-Resident CD8 T Cells During Acute and Chronic Hepacivirus Infection [PDF]
Immune correlates of hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance and control remain poorly defined due to the lack of an informative animal model. We recently described acute and chronic rodent HCV-like virus (RHV) infections in lab mice.

Neutralization and receptor use of infectious culture–derived rat hepacivirus as a model for HCV
Lack of tractable immunocompetent animal models amenable to robust experimental challenge impedes vaccine efforts for HCV. Infection with rodent hepacivirus from Rattus norvegicus (RHV‐rn1) in rats shares HCV‐defining characteristics, including liver ...

Hepatitis viruses: prevalence of equine parvovirus‐hepatitis virus and equine hepacivirus in France and Australia [PDF]
Background: Recent identification of viruses considered responsible for Theiler’s disease (acute hepatitis) in horses include equine parvovirus-hepatitis (EqPV-H) and the most likely of several flaviviruses, equine hepacivirus (EqHV).

Dose-Dependent Hepacivirus Infection Reveals Linkage between Infectious Dose and Immune Response
More than 70 million people worldwide are still infected with the hepatitis C virus 30 years after its discovery, underscoring the need for a vaccine. To develop an effective prophylactic vaccine, detailed knowledge of the correlates of protection and an

Influence of Host and Landscape-Associated Factors in the Infection and Transmission of Pathogens: The Case of Directly Transmitted Virus in Mammals. [PDF]
The figure shows the effects (increasing upward arrow or decreasing downward arrow) the most common host traits, landscape attributes, climatic features and anthropogenic variables recorded in the review had on the infection and transmission of directly transmitted virus to mammals.

European College of Equine Internal Medicine consensus statement on equine flaviviridae infections in Europe [PDF]
Horses and other equids can be infected with several viruses of the family Flaviviridae, belonging to the genus Flavivirus and Hepacivirus. This consensus statement focuses on viruses with known occurrence in Europe, with the objective to summarize the ...

Expanded Diversity and Host Range of Bovine Hepacivirus—Genomic and Serological Evidence in Domestic and Wild Ruminant Species [PDF]
The hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related bovine hepacivirus (BovHepV) can cause acute as well as persistent infections in cattle. The true clinical relevance of the virus is not yet known.
