Discovery of fur seal feces-associated circular DNA virus in swine feces inJapan

[摘要] Fur seal feces-associated circular ssDNA virus (FSfaCV) was discovered in a pig for thefirst time in Japan using a next-generation sequencer with duplex-specific nuclease. Fullgenome of the virus showed approximately 92% similarity to FSfaCVs from New Zealand furseals. Furthermore, we investigated the prevalence of the ssDNA virus in 85 piglets inJapan, and 65 piglets were positive (76%) for the virus.
