Abstract

Here, we report a parvovirus genome identified in Melopsittacus undulatus. The genome is 4,547 bp long and codes for two major open reading frames (ORFs): the non-structural replicase protein 1 (NS1) and the structural capsid gene (VP1). Phylogenetic analysis shows that this virus belongs to the genus Chaphamaparvovirus.

Keywords: Melopsittacus undulatus; NGS; budgerigar; parvovirus.
