Human bocavirus (HBoV) is a novel virus which can cause respiratory tract disease in infants and children. Recently, the prevalence of this virus was studied worldwide not only in the respiratory tract, but also in the gastrointestinal tract. The results of this study focusing on the HBoV detection in stool samples showed that HBoV could only be found in the stool of children with acute gastroenteritis (0.9%), not in the healthy control samples. Moreover, the complete coding sequences of these HBoV also showed very conserved sequences.
人博卡病毒(HBoV)是一种新型病毒,可导致婴幼儿呼吸道疾病。最近,不仅在呼吸道,而且在胃肠道,对这种病毒在全球范围内的流行情况进行了研究。这项针对粪便样本中HBoV检测的研究结果表明,仅在急性胃肠炎患儿的粪便中发现了HBoV(0.9%),在健康对照样本中未发现。此外,这些HBoV的完整编码序列也显示出非常保守的序列。
