Molecular characterization of a novel coronavirus associated with epizootic catarrhal enteritis (ECE) in ferrets 2006-05-25 .txt text/plain 6092 336 57 Using consensus PCR assays for the genus Coronavirus, followed by additional genomic sequencing and phylogenetic analyses, we provide the first molecular evidence that the virus associated with ECE in ferrets is a new coronavirus, tentatively designated as "ferret enteric coronavirus" (FECV). Table 1 shows the sequence identities between the N protein of FECV-MSU1 and those of porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), canine coronavirus (CCV), feline coronavirus (FCoV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), human coronavirus (HCoV) 229E, bovine coronavirus (BCV), mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), HCoV OC43, SARS virus, avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), and turkey coronavirus (TCoV). As with the analysis of the N protein sequence, phylogenetic analyses based upon these three other regions of the genome gave similar results, further supporting the classification of FECV as a member of group 1 coronaviruses with highest similarities to CCV, FCoV, and TGEV and more distantly related to PEDV and HcoV 229E. ./cache/cord-270929-utn21ce1.txt ./txt/cord-270929-utn21ce1.txt
