Abstract excerpt
Despite the recent discovery of novel bocaviruses from porcine samples, their genetic evolution and diversity are poorly understood. This study reports the identification and complete genome characterization of two novel parvoviruses, porcine bocavirus 3 (PBoV3) and porcine bocavirus 4 (PBoV4), from various porcine tissues/samples, displaying marked intra- and inter-host genetic diversity, with recombination...
