RESUMEN
In this study, a novel parvovirus (gyb-MR02/2015/HUN, MT580795) was detected in barn owls (Tyto alba) and genetically characterized using viral metagenomics and PCR methods. The NS1 and VP1 proteins of gyb-MR02/2015/HUN share only 45.4% and 50.1% amino acid sequence identity, respectively, to the corresponding proteins of peafowl parvovirus 2 (MK988620), the closest relative. Out of 11 faecal specimens from owls (six from little owls, three from barn owls, and two from long-eared owls), two barn owl samples were positive for the novel parvovirus, which is distantly related to members of the recently established genus Chaphamaparvovirus in the subfamily Hamaparvovirinae. Systematic investigation is necessary to explore the diversity of parvoviruses.

In this study, a novel picornavirus (perchPV/M9/2015/HUN, GenBank accession no. MW590713) was detected in eight (12.9%) out of 62 faecal samples collected from three (Perca fluviatilis, Sander lucioperca, and Ameiurus melas) out of 13 freshwater fish species tested and genetically characterized using viral metagenomics and RT-PCR methods. The complete genome of perchPV/M9/2015/HUN is 7,741 nt long, excluding the poly(A) tail, and has the genome organization 5'UTRIRES-?/P1(VP0-VP3-VP1)/P2(2A1NPG↓P-2A2H-box/NC-2B-2C)/P3(3A-3BVPg-3CPro-3DPol)/3'UTR-poly(A). The P1, 2C, and 3CD proteins had 41.4%, 38.1%, and 47.3% amino acid sequence identity to the corresponding proteins of Wenling lepidotrigla picornavirus (MG600079), eel picornavirus (NC_022332), and Wenling pleuronectiformes picornavirus (MG600098), respectively, as the closest relatives in the genus Potamipivirus. PerchPV/M9/2015/HUN represents a potential novel fish-origin species in an unassigned genus in the family Picornaviridae.

In this study, a novel parvovirus (strain swine/Zsana3/2013/HUN, KT965075) was detected in domestic pigs and genetically characterized by viral metagenomics and PCR methods. The novel parvovirus was distantly related to the human bufaviruses and was detected in 19 (90.5 %) of the 21 and five (33.3 %) of the 15 faecal samples collected from animals with and without cases of posterior paraplegia of unknown etiology from five affected farms and one control farm in Hungary, respectively. Swine/Zsana3/2013/HUN is highly prevalent in domestic pigs and potentially represents a novel parvovirus species in the subfamily Parvovirinae.
