Description
|
This dataset contains previously not released sequence data used for phylogenetic analysis in the ICTV Taxonomy Proposal: 2024.003D.Polyomaviridae_4ns. Adding 4 novel species; 3 to genus Alphapolyomavirus, 1 to Betapolyomavirus. Novel polyomaviruses have been detected in bat guano and Eurasian beaver kidney tissue samples. Three from the novel bat polyomaviruses and the beaver polyomavirus meet the criteria of establishing a new species. The phylogenetic distance of their LTAg nucleotide sequences is more than 15 percent to members of accepted polyomavirus species and their host species is known, furthermore, they originate from new hosts.
