Identification of a novel pegivirus in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus valentinae) in Northeastern China
This study identified a novel pegivirus, which expands its host range, geographic distribution, and genetic diversity. This discovery highlights the need for enhanced surveillance of understudied viral families in regions where human-wildlife interfaces amplify zoonotic risks.
