In the fall of 2019, a fatal encephalitis outbreak led to the deaths of >200 European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) in England. We used next-generation sequencing to identify a novel arterivirus with a genome coding sequence of only 43% similarity to existing GenBank arterivirus sequences.
2019 年秋季,一种致命的脑炎爆发导致英国超过 200 只欧洲刺猬(Erinaceus europaeus)死亡。我们使用下一代测序技术鉴定了一种新型动脉炎病毒,其基因组编码序列与现有 GenBank 动脉炎病毒序列的相似度仅为 43%。
