ABSTRACT
We used viral metagenomics and next-generation sequencing to identify a novel strain of bocaparvovirus in the intestinal tract of tufted deer (Elaphodus cephalophus), tentatively named "Elaphodus cephalophus bocaparvovirus" (ECBOV). A nearly complete genome sequence of 5,354 nucleotides was obtained, which had the typical genome organization and protein motifs of a bocaparvovirus. Sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis revealed that ECBOV may be a new ungulate bocaparvovirus. The identification and characterization of viruses in wildlife will facilitate our understanding of genetic evolution and cross-species transmission and thus further reduce the potential threat to human and animal health.
