cord-293525-c7nwygl1	Saldanha, I. F.	Extension of the known distribution of a novel clade C betacoronavirus in a wildlife host	2019-04-03		.txt	text/plain	5041	235	46	An EriCoV-specific BRYT-Green(®) real-time reverse transcription PCR assay was used to test 351 samples of faeces or distal large intestinal tract contents collected from casualty or dead hedgehogs from a wide area across GB. Characterisation of these Erinaceus coronavirus (EriCoV) nucleotide sequences revealed high nucleotide identity to MERS-CoV [3] , the cause of an acute respiratory syndrome in humans with high case fatality rates [5, 6] . Many animal species seem to have the capacity for coronavirus infection in the absence of apparent disease, including bats [15] , aquatic birds [16] and rabbits when inoculated with MERS-CoV [17] . Whole genome sequencing was performed on RNA extracted from one faecal sample collected in 2014 (R618/14) which was identified as EriCoV-positive by real-time RT-PCR. The highest proportion of EriCoV-positive hedgehog samples were submitted from the South of England (34/217, 16%); however, BLR showed no significant association (P = 0.678) between EriCoV infection status and wider region when other factors including age and year were included.	./cache/cord-293525-c7nwygl1.txt	./txt/cord-293525-c7nwygl1.txt
