AI Article Synopsis
- The first hepacivirus has been found in Mongolian gerbils in plague regions of China.
- This new virus is closely related to existing hepaciviruses E and F.
- Mongolian gerbils might serve as a useful model for studying the disease-causing potential of hepaciviruses, expanding our understanding of their genetic diversity and host range.
