Abstract

A proposed new strain of canine Kobuvirus was identified in fecal samples of domestic dogs from a rural community located in the municipality of Peixe-Boi, Pará, Brazil. The nucleotide identity was 92.3% similar to other representatives of the family Picornaviridae, genus Kobuvirus, and species Aichivirus A, which suggests that this is possibly a new strain within this species.
