Further Evidence for in Utero Transmission of Equine Hepacivirus to Foals [PDF]
Viruses, 2019 (1) Background: Equine 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, causing an epidemic of liver cirrhosis and cancer.
