Hepatitis B virus detected in a golden monkey fatal case, China

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is distributed worldwide and poses a significant threat to human health. Cross-species transmission of HBV from human to non-human primates could occur, which has been confirmed in three individual events.

Description
Summary:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is distributed worldwide and poses a significant threat to human health. Cross-species transmission of HBV from human to non-human primates could occur, which has been confirmed in three individual events. In this study, HBV DNA was detected in one golden monkey fatal case in China. The following genetic sequencing and analysis demonstrated the virus had a close genetic relationship with HBV genotype C in humans. To our knowledge, this is the first report suggested that HBV is related with a non-human primate fatal case in China. •HBV DNA was detected in a golden monkey fatal case in China.•Phylogenetic analysis indicated the virus was clustered together with HBV genotype C.•This is the first report on HBV related with a non-human primate fatal case in China.
