Hepatoma cell density promotes claudin-1 and scavenger receptor BI expression and hepatitis C virus internalization. [PDF]
, 2009 Hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry occurs via a pH- and clathrin-dependent endocytic pathway and requires a number of cellular factors, including CD81, the tight-junction proteins claudin 1 (CLDN1) and occludin, and scavenger receptor class B member I (SR-BI).

Dissemination of Internal Ribosomal Entry Sites (IRES) Between Viruses by Horizontal Gene Transfer
Viruses, 2020 Members of Picornaviridae and of the Hepacivirus, Pegivirus and Pestivirus genera of Flaviviridae all contain an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) in the 5′-untranslated region (5′UTR) of their genomes. Each class of IRES has a conserved structure and

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.
