Epidemiology and genetic characteristics of murine kobuvirus from faecal samples of , and in southern China Open Access

Abstract

Recently, murine kobuvirus (MuKV), a novel member of the family , was identified in faecal samples of in China. The limited information on the circulation of MuKV in other murine rodent species prompted us to investigate its prevalence and conduct a genetic characterization of MuKV in , and in China. Between 2015 and 2017, 243 faecal samples of these three murine rodent species from three regions in southern China were screened for the presence of MuKV. The overall prevalence was 23.0% (56/243). Three complete MuKV polyprotein sequences were acquired, and the genome organization was determined. Phylogenetic analyses suggested that our sequences were closely related to Chinese strains and belong to the species in the genus . Additional studies are required to understand the true prevalence of MuKV in murine rodent populations in China.
