All three genetic groups of ratHEV have been found in Indonesia, suggesting the presence of additional variants of ratHEV in unexamined areas of Indonesia. A total of 242 wild rats were captured in Bali and Sumbawa, Indonesia, during 2014-2016. Among them, 4.1% were seropositive for anti-ratHEV IgG and two (0.8%) had detectable ratHEV RNA: ratESUMBAWA-140L and ratEBali2016D-047L, sharing 84.9-85.4% and 86.9-92.1% nucleotide identity with the reported G2 strains, respectively. The provisional criteria supported the notion that the ratEBali2016D-047L and ratESUMBAWA-140L strains were novel G2 variants. These results suggested the spatial distribution of further divergent ratHEV strains in Indonesia.
在印度尼西亚已发现大鼠戊型肝炎病毒(ratHEV)的所有三个基因群,这表明在印度尼西亚未检测地区存在ratHEV的其他变体。2014年至2016年期间,在印度尼西亚的巴厘岛和松巴哇岛共捕获了242只野生大鼠。其中,4.1%的大鼠抗ratHEV IgG血清呈阳性,两只(0.8%)检测到ratHEV RNA:ratESUMBAWA-140L和ratEBali2016D-047L,它们与已报道的G2株分别具有84.9 - 85.4%和86.9 - 92.1%的核苷酸同一性。临时标准支持ratEBali2016D-047L和ratESUMBAWA-140L菌株是新型G2变体这一观点。这些结果表明在印度尼西亚存在进一步分化的ratHEV菌株的空间分布。
