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

Abstract: 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, evolution, and range of hosts. In this study of pegivirus and human hepatitis-related viruses, liver and serum samples from Vietnamese rodents and bats were examined by PCR and sequencing. Nucleic acids homologous to human hepatitis B, C, E viruses were detec… Show more

“…These results suggesting that HBV originated in bats a long time ago, possibly during the early phases of bat evolution, and the different species of bat HBVs have since co-evolved with their host species. Combined with previous studies (Drexler et al, 2013;He et al, 2013He et al, , 2015Nie et al, 2018;Van Nguyen et al, 2018;Velkov et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2017;Yang et al, 2018), these data indicate that bats should be an important natural reservoir of orthohepadnaviruses.…”

“…This is the first time to report HBV in Myotis fimbriatus, Myotis pequinius, and Myotis ricketti bats. Miniopterus schreibersii and Myotis davidii had been found positive to HBV previously (He et al, 2013;He et al, 2015;Nie et al, 2018;Van Nguyen et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2017;Yang et al, 2018). Bat species that were negative to HBV in this study might be caused by small sample size and whether they carry HBV need to be further investigated by increasing sample size.…”

“…Pegiviruses are divided into 11 species ( Pegivirus A‐K ) (Smith et al., ) and have been identified from a variety of mammalian species including human, baboons, chimpanzees, monkeys, tamarins, bats, camels, horses, rodents and pigs (Tang et al., ; Thézé, Lowes, Parker, & Pybus, ). Pegiviruses have been detected in North and South America, Africa, Asia and Europe, indicating global presence of this virus (Bailey et al., ; de Souza et al., ; N'Guessan et al., ; Thézé et al., ; Van Nguyen et al., ). In 2016, Porcine Pegiviruses (PPgV) were discovered in pigs from Germany using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of serum from asymptomatic animals, and subsequent PCR testing detected PPgV in 2.2% of serum samples (Baechlein et al., ).…”
