ABSTRACT
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.
