Human-stool-associated tusavirus ( Parvoviridae ) in domestic goats and sheep
Archives of Virology(2022)
Abstract
In this study, genetic counterparts of the human-stool-associated tusavirus ( s ubfamily Parvovirinae, family Parvoviridae ) with >97% and 95-100% amino acid sequence identity in the parvoviral NS1 and VP1 protein were identified in faecal specimens from domestic goats ( Capra hircus ) and sheep ( Ovis aries ) in Hungary. Eleven (17.8%) of the 62 faecal specimens from goats and 12 (25.5%) of the 47 from sheep both from less than 12 months old animals were positive for tusavirus DNA by PCR, while none of the specimens collected from cattle and swine were positive. Thus, it cannot be ruled out that tusavirus infection in humans is of zoonotic origin.
