| detection of hepatitis b virus-like nucleotide sequences in liver samples from murine rodents and asian house shrews. | in recent years, hepatitis b virus (hbv) has been detected in some species of animals. in this study, we found hbv-like nucleotide sequences in murine rodents and asian house shrews (suncus murinus) collected in china. a total of 801 animals were trapped. we found that 0.48% (3/624) of the murine rodents and 1.69% (3/177) of asian house shrews were positive for hbv-like dna. detection of hbv-like dna in brown rats (rattus norvegicus), rice-field rat (rattus losea), and asian house shrews indicat ... | 2019 | 31216240 |
