Complete genome sequence of a polyomavirus isolated from horses

J Virol. 2012 Aug;86(16):8903. doi: 10.1128/JVI.01261-12.

Abstract

A polyomavirus was isolated from the eyes of horses, and the sequence was determined. A nearly identical VP1 sequence was amplified from the kidney of another animal. We report the complete genome sequence of the first polyomavirus to be isolated from a horse. Analysis shows it to be most closely related overall to human and nonhuman primate polyomaviruses.
