Coronaviruses of potential recombinant origin with porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), referred to as a new subtype (IIb) of canine coronavirus (CCoV), were recently identified in dogs in Europe. To assess the distribution of the TGEV-like CCoV subtype, during 2001-2008 we tested fecal samples from dogs with gastroenteritis. Of 1,172 samples, 493 (42.06%) were positive for CCoV. CCoV-II was found in 218 samples, and CCoV-I and CCoV-II genotypes were found in 182. Approximately 20% of the samples with CCoV-II had the TGEV-like subtype; detection rates varied according to geographic origin. The highest and lowest rates of prevalence for CCoV-II infection were found in samples from Hungary and Greece (96.87% and 3.45%, respectively). Sequence and phylogenetic analyses showed that the CCoV-IIb strains were related to prototype TGEV-like strains in the 5' and the 3' ends of the spike protein gene.
最近在欧洲的狗中发现了具有猪传染性胃肠炎病毒(TGEV)的潜在重组起源的冠状病毒,称为犬冠状病毒(CCoV)的新亚型(IIb)。为了评估类似于 TGEV 的 CCoV 亚型的分布,我们在 2001-2008 年期间测试了患有胃肠炎的狗的粪便样本。在 1172 个样本中,493 个(42.06%)对 CCoV 呈阳性。发现了 218 个 CCoV-II,182 个 CCoV-I 和 CCoV-II 基因型。大约 20%的 CCoV-II 样本具有类似于 TGEV 的亚型;检测率根据地理位置而有所不同。在匈牙利和希腊的样本中,CCoV-II 感染的流行率最高和最低,分别为 96.87%和 3.45%。序列和系统发育分析表明,CCoV-IIb 株与刺突蛋白基因 5'和 3'末端的原型 TGEV 样株有关。
