2026-06 Genomic Evolution Phylogenetic Evolution Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Betacoronavirus erinacei strain detected in pet hedgehogs formed a distinct clade within European sequences, clustering with viruses from Europe and Eastern Russia rather than those from China in Amur hedgehogs. 42111335
2026-06 Zoonotic Surveillance Reservoir Ecology A long‑eared hedgehog‑specific strain of Betacoronavirus erinacei was identified, supporting circulation of related coronaviruses among hedgehog species across Europe and Eurasia. 42111335
2026-05-20 Zoonotic Surveillance Reservoir Ecology Hedgehogs were supported as ecological reservoirs maintaining circulation of coronaviruses in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. 42163369
2026-05-20 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection Coronaviruses were molecularly detected in 90 wild mammals, mostly hedgehogs, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. 42163369
2026-05-20 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection Detection of Betacoronavirus erinacei sequences in non-hedgehog wild mammals indicates probable cross-species transmission among wildlife in Northern Italy. 42163369
2026-05-20 Zoonotic Surveillance Serological Evidence Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were detected in multiple wild mammal species from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. 42163369
