Candidate new rotavirus species in sheltered dogs, Hungary

Emerg Infect Dis. 2015 Apr;21(4):660-3. doi: 10.3201/eid2104.141370.

Abstract

We identified unusual rotavirus strains in fecal specimens from sheltered dogs in Hungary by viral metagenomics. The novel rotavirus species displayed limited genome sequence homology to representatives of the 8 rotavirus species, A-H, and qualifies as a candidate new rotavirus species that we tentatively named Rotavirus I.

Keywords: Hungary; astrovirus; coronavirus; dogs; parvovirus; picodicistrovirus; rotavirus; semiconductor sequencing; vesivirus; viral metagenomics; viruses.
