Ferret enteric coronavirus (FRECV) RNA was detected in laboratory ferrets. Analysis of the complete genome sequence of 2 strains, FRCoV4370 and FRCoV063, revealed that FRECV shared 49.9%-68.9% nucleotide sequence identity with known coronaviruses. These results suggest that FRECV might be classified as a new species in the genus Alphacoronavirus.
在实验雪貂体内检测到雪貂肠道冠状病毒(FRECV)RNA。对FRCoV4370和FRCoV063这两个毒株的全基因组序列分析显示,FRECV与已知冠状病毒的核苷酸序列同一性为49.9%-68.9%。这些结果表明,FRECV可能被归类为甲型冠状病毒属中的一个新物种。
