- A study screened 813 European rodents and shrews for alphacoronaviruses using PCR, identifying novel viruses in multiple species including Rattus norvegicus and Microtus agrestis.
- These new viruses create a unique clade alongside the Lucheng virus found in China, showing significant genetic differences.
- The findings enhance our understanding of wildlife reservoirs for alphacoronaviruses, suggesting these may represent different species within the virus family.
