Abstract

We report the first nearly complete genome sequence of a porcine sapelovirus (PSV) A strain that was identified from feces of piglets suffering from diarrhea in Italy in 2015. Phylogenetic investigations revealed a separate clustering for the Italian PSV, indicating unique molecular features.
