ABSTRACT

During an ongoing virome metagenomics project we identified hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a pool of recently blood-fed common bed bug (Cimex lectularius) nymphs sampled from domestic residences in Europe. Additional PCR and genomic analysis revealed that the virus was a member of HCV genotype 3A, one of the most prevalent genotypes in Europe. Although the role of the common bed bug in the transmission of human hepatitis viruses remains unclear, our study suggests that it merits additional investigation.

鉴定普通臭虫中的丙型肝炎病毒-潜在但不常见的HCV感染途径?

摘要

在正在进行的病毒宏基因组学项目中,我们从最近从欧洲家庭住所中取血的普通臭虫(Cimex lectularius)若虫的池中鉴定出丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)。进一步的PCR和基因组分析表明,该病毒是HCV基因型3A的成员,后者是欧洲最流行的基因型之一。尽管普通臭虫在人类肝炎病毒传播中的作用尚不清楚,但我们的研究表明它值得进一步研究。
