Abstract

The coding-complete genome sequences of hedgehog coronavirus were retrieved from rectal swabs collected in 2022 and 2023 in France. Information on this virus is crucial to understand the pathogenicity and ecology of this Betacoronavirus.

Keywords: Erinaceus europaeus; complete genome; coronavirus; hedgehog.
