Key result
Enterovirus G was detected in 37.5% (30/80) of wild boar faecal samples in Japan, identifying novel genotypes carrying a papain-like cysteine protease sequence.
Why the study?
The study investigated the genetic diversity of enterovirus G (EV-G) in the wild-boar population in Japan.

EV-G diversity in wild boars signals possible zoonotic reservoirs; leaves open transmission dynamics and clinical relevance in other species.
Cross-Sectional (n=80)
The study identifies novel enterovirus G genotypes carrying a papain-like cysteine protease sequence in wild boars in Japan, shedding light on the genetic plasticity and evolution of EV-G.
Nagata et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Enterovirus G (EV-G) infection (n=80). Enterovirus G (EV-G) detection and sequencing was evaluated on EV-G positivity. Enterovirus G was detected in 37.5% (30/80) of wild boar faecal samples in Japan, identifying novel genotypes carrying a papain-like cysteine protease sequence.
