In Australia, researchers identified a novel hepadnavirus in an immunocompromised domestic cat. This virus, tentatively named domestic cat hepadnavirus, was discovered through high-throughput transcriptome sequencing of tissues from cats infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). The virus was detected in 10% of FIV-infected cats and 3.2% of FIV-uninfected cats, indicating its potential role as a co-infecting agent in immunosuppressed animals. Phylogenetic analysis places the domestic cat hepadnavirus as a highly divergent member of the mammalian orthohepadnaviruses, marking the first time a hepadnavirus has been found in a carnivore or companion animal.
