HCV-related hepaciviruses

Virus	Host	Disease characteristics
GBV-B	Tamarins, marmosets and squirrel monkeys	Hepatotropic; mostly acute infection leading to liver inflammation and fibrosis
CHV	Dogs	Dual tropism to respiratory system and liver; however not associated with liver disease
EqHV	Horses	Hepatotropic; causes both acute and chronic infection with hepatic inflammation
BovHepV	Cattle	Hepatotropic; few cases of chronic infection reported
BHV	Bats	Apathogenic; potential natural reservoir for hepaciviruses
RHV	Rats; mice	Hepatotropic; acute infection and mild liver pathology in mice; persistence in rats
