Recently, several studies discovered new viruses related to hepatitis C virus, belonging to the hepaciand pegivirus genera, in small wild mammals (rodents and bats) and domesticated animals which live in close contact with humans (dogs and horses). Non-primate hepaciviruses (NPHV) were initially discovered in domestic dogs and subsequently in horses 12, 13 and other diverse and widespread HCV-like viruses have been reported in wild populations of rodents and bats. Furthermore, liver function analyses revealed no indication for hepatic inflammation as c-glutamyl transferase and glutamate dehydrogenase values were within reference range, with the exception of a mildly elevated c-glutamyl transferase New HCV-like viruses in different mammalian hosts Pfaender et al 4 level in one horse.	./cache/cord-314254-9ye8tfvz.txt	./txt/cord-314254-9ye8tfvz.txt
