Therapy of acute hepatitis C infection [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2005 Background. Hepatitis C viral infection is a major cause of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The progression of acute to chronic infection occurs in 50-90% of cases.

Characterization of nonprimate hepacivirus and construction of a functional molecular clone [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance The origin of hepatitis C virus (HCV) has long remained a mystery. Unexpectedly, a plethora of HCV-related hepaciviruses was recently discovered in horses, monkeys, rodents, and bats. These discoveries are of particular interest and may aid in understanding HCV evolution, molecular biology, and natural history.

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

Identification of a Novel Hepacivirus in Domestic Cattle from Germany [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2015 ABSTRACT Hepatitis C virus (HCV) continues to represent one of the most significant threats to human health. In recent years, HCV-related sequences have been found in bats, rodents, horses, and dogs, indicating a widespread distribution of hepaciviruses among animals. By applying unbiased high-throughput sequencing, a novel virus

Viruses in Horses with Neurologic and Respiratory Diseases
Viruses, 2019 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 is not associated with chronic liver disease in dogs [PDF]
Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 2013 SummaryCanine hepacivirus (CHV) has recently been identified in liver and respiratory tract samples from dogs, and comparative phylogenetic analysis has confirmed it to be the closest genetic relative of hepatitis C virus (HCV) described to date. CHV offers great potential as a model system for HCV, but only if the underlying processes of infection and
