(CaHV-1) infects dogs, causing neonatal death and ocular, neurological, respiratory, and reproductive problems in adults. Although CaHV-1 is widespread in canine populations, only four studies have focused on the CaHV-1 whole genome. In such context, two CaHV-1 strains from both the kidney and spleen of 20-day-old deceased French Bulldog puppies were recently isolated in Sardinia, Italy. The extracted viral DNA underwent whole-genome sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq platform. The Italian CaHV-1 genomes were nearly identical (>99%), shared the same tree branch, and clustered near the ELAL-1 (MW353125) and BTU-1 (KX828242) strains, enlarging the completely separated clade discussed by Lewin et al., in 2020. This study aims to provide new insights on the evolution of the CaHV-1, based on high-resolution whole-genome phylogenetic analysis, and on its clinicopathological characterization during a fatal outbreak in puppies.
(CaHV-1) 感染犬科动物,导致幼犬死亡,并使成年犬出现眼部、神经、呼吸和生殖问题。尽管 CaHV-1 在犬群中广泛存在,但仅有四项研究关注 CaHV-1 的全基因组。在此背景下,意大利撒丁岛最近从两只 20 天大死亡法国斗牛犬幼犬的肾脏和脾脏中分离出了两种 CaHV-1 毒株。提取的病毒 DNA 使用 Illumina MiSeq 平台进行了全基因组测序。意大利 CaHV-1 基因组几乎完全相同(>99%),共享同一树分支,与 ELAL-1 (MW353125) 和 BTU-1 (KX828242) 毒株聚类,扩大了 Lewin 等人在 2020 年讨论的完全分离的进化枝。本研究旨在通过高分辨率全基因组系统发育分析,以及在幼犬致命性爆发期间对其临床病理特征进行分析,为 CaHV-1 的进化提供新的见解。
