Nucleic acids homologous to human hepatitis B, C, E viruses were detected in liver samples of 2 (1.3%) of 157 bats, 38 (8.1%), and 14 (3%) of 470 rodents, respectively. Hepacivirus-like viruses were frequently detected (42.7%) in the bamboo rat, Rhizomys pruinosus, while pegivirus RNA was only evident in 2 (0.3%) of 638 rodent serum samples. Nucleic acid that was extracted from liver samples of 157 bats (29 species; Table S1 ) and 470 rodents (six species) was screened for pegivirus and human hepatitis B, C, E viruses and their homologues ( Table 1 ) by nested and semi-nested PCR assays with degenerate primers. ./cache/cord-350964-0jtfc271.txt ./txt/cord-350964-0jtfc271.txt
