Human Cosavirus (HCoSV) is a newly discovered virus whose role in human enteric diseases is still unknown. In Italy, the prevalence and genetic diversity of HCoSV are unexplored. One hundred forty-one raw sewage samples collected throughout Italy were screened for HCoSV by RT-nested PCR. HCoSV was detected in 25.5% of samples. Species A, C, and D, and a potentially new species were detected. Our results show a significant circulation and heterogeneity of HCoSV in Italy.
人冠状病毒(HCoSV)是一种新发现的病毒,其在人类肠道疾病中的作用尚不清楚。在意大利,HCoSV 的流行率和遗传多样性尚不清楚。通过 RT-巢式 PCR 法对意大利各地采集的 141 份原始污水样本进行 HCoSV 筛查。在 25.5%的样本中检测到 HCoSV。检测到了 A、C 和 D 种以及一种可能的新种。我们的研究结果表明,HCoSV 在意大利具有显著的传播和异质性。
