Identification of a novel single-stranded circular DNA virus in pig feces

Genome Announc. 2014 May 1;2(2):e00347-14. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00347-14.

Abstract

Porcine stool-associated circular virus 5 (PoSCV5) was detected in the feces of a pig with diarrhea. The complete 3,062-nucleotide genome contains two bidirectionally transcribed open reading frames (ORFs). Phylogenetic analysis of the deduced replication initiator protein (Rep) places PoSCV5 alone on a deep branch among the small circular Rep-encoding single-stranded DNA viruses.
