浣熊犬作为一种古老的犬科动物,是许多病毒的宿主,包括狂犬病病毒,犬瘟热病毒,严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒,等等。随着近年来浣熊犬养殖的发展,从浣熊犬中也发现了一些感染家禽或猪的病毒。目前,浣熊狗的粪便病毒很少被研究。使用无偏见的病毒宏基因组方法,我们调查了从吉林省的一个农场收集的浣熊犬的粪便病毒,中国。在这些粪便样本中鉴定出的许多DNA或RNA病毒主要来自七个家族,包括圆环病毒科,马科病毒科,基因组病毒科,细小病毒科,小导航科,星状病毒科,和Hepevirridae.这项研究增加了我们对浣熊犬粪便病毒的了解,并为监测提供了有价值的信息,预防,和治疗这些动物的病毒性疾病。
Raccoon dogs as an ancient species of Canidae are the host of many viruses, including rabies virus, canine distemper virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and so on. With the development of raccoon dog breeding in recent years, some viruses which infected poultry or pigs were also detected from raccoon dogs. At present, the fecal virome of raccoon dogs has been rarely studied. Using an unbiased viral metagenomic approach, we investigated the fecal virome in raccoon dogs collected from one farm of Jilin Province, China. Many DNA or RNA viruses identified in those fecal samples were mainly from seven families, including Circoviridae, Smacoviridae, Genomoviridae, Parvoviridae, Picornaviridae, Astroviridae, and Hepeviridae. This study increased our understanding of the fecal virome in raccoon dog and provided valuable information for the monitoring, prevention, and treatment of viral diseases of these animals.
