To identify the prevalence and genetic variability of noroviruses in dogs, we tested fecal samples by using reverse transcription-PCR. We found canine norovirus in 40% and 9% of dogs with and without diarrhea, respectively. The virus was genetically unrelated to other noroviruses and constitutes a tentative new genogroup.
为了确定犬诺如病毒的流行情况和遗传变异性,我们使用逆转录-PCR 检测了粪便样本。我们发现,分别有 40%和 9%的腹泻和非腹泻犬携带该病毒。该病毒与其他诺如病毒在基因上没有关系,构成了一个暂定的新基因型。
