| Summary: | Circular single-stranded DNA viral genomes had been identified worldwide in different species and in environmental samples. Among them, viruses belonging to the genus
Circovirus
of the family
Circoviridae
are present in birds and pigs, and recently, they were detected in barbels. The present study reports the identification of a new circovirus in fish. PCR amplification and sequencing were used to identify the novel circular DNA virus in European catfish (
Silurus glanis
). Full genome characterization and phylogenetic analysis showed that the virus belonged to the family
Circoviridae
and that it was distantly related to the previously described barbel circovirus. |
