Distribution of TT virus (TTV), TTV-like minivirus, and related viruses in humans and nonhuman primates [PDF]

, 2003
TT virus (TTV) and TTV-like minivirus (TLMV) are small DNA viruses with single-stranded, closed circular, antisense genomes infecting man. Despite their extreme sequence heterogeneity (>50%), a highly conserved region in the untranslated region (UTR ...

Natural reservoirs for homologs of hepatitis C virus

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2014
Hepatitis C virus is considered a major public health problem, infecting 2%–3% of the human population. Hepatitis C virus infection causes acute and chronic liver disease, including chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Identification of Rodent Homologs of Hepatitis C Virus and Pegiviruses

mBio, 2013
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human pegivirus (HPgV or GB virus C) are globally distributed and infect 2 to 5% of the human population. The lack of tractable-animal models for these viruses, in particular for HCV, has hampered the study of infection ...

Characterization of antibody-mediated neutralization directed against the hypervariable region 1 of hepatitis C virus E2 glycoprotein [PDF]

, 2010
The hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) comprising the first 27 aa of E2 glycoprotein is a target for neutralizing antibodies against hepatitis C virus (HCV), but the mechanisms of this neutralization in the cell-culture-infectious genotype 2a strain JFH1 ...

Characterization of innate immune response to hepatitis B virus genotype F acute infection in tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) model

Frontiers in Virology, 2022
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem. The clinical outcomes of HBV infections are influenced by host as well as viral factors, including viral genotypes and subgenotypes.

Detection and Characterization of Homologues of Human Hepatitis Viruses and Pegiviruses in Rodents and Bats in Vietnam

Viruses, 2018
Rodents and bats are now widely recognised as important sources of zoonotic virus infections in other mammals, including humans. Numerous surveys have expanded our knowledge of diverse viruses in a range of rodent and bat species, including their origins,

HCV infection in northeastern Brazil: unexpected high prevalence of genotype 3a and absence of African genotypes [PDF]

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2000
The genomic diversity of HCV embraces 6 genotypes and at least 52 subtypes with clinical and epidemiological correlations. There is a paucity of studies assessing HCV genotypes and biomolecular epidemiology in Brazil. We studied genotype distribution and

Antiviral Toll-like Receptor Signaling in Non-Parenchymal Liver Cells Is Restricted to TLR3

Viruses, 2022
The role of non-parenchymal liver cells as part of the hepatic, innate immune system in the defense against hepatotropic viruses is not well understood. Here, primary human Kupffer cells, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and hepatic stellate cells were
