The presence of bocaparvoviruses (BoVs) and bufaviruses (BuVs) in the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) was investigated by screening duodenal liver samples collected from 183 carcasses, delivered to wildlife rescue centers located northwestern Italy. BoV DNA detected 15 animals (8.2%), with prevalences 7.1% (13/183) 2.7% (5/183) intestine samples, respectively. Upon sequence analyses NS1 gene, two highly divergent BoVs (65.5–67.8% nt identities) were identified. Fourteen strains...
European hedgehogs (
In 2022, a novel parvovirus was identified from an outbreak of fatal enteritis in weaned European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) at wildlife rescue center Southern Italy. During sequence analysis, the strain found to be closely related (90.4% nucleotide identity) chaphamaparvovirus (ChPV) discovered Amur amurensis) during large metaviromic investigation game animals China. this study, we investigated presence ChPV necropsied different areas North-Western Duodenal and liver samples collected...
Mammarenaviruses are noteworthy zoonotic pathogens, and the main reservoirs rodent species. We report detection of a novel mammarenavirus in 6/183 (3.3%) necropsied European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) collected Italy. The whole-genome sequence obtained for 4 strains revealed marked genetic diversity but monophyletic origin.
