Metagenomic analysis of the shrew enteric virome reveals novel viruses related to human stool-associated viruses
7 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
Shrews are small insectivorous mammals that are distributed worldwide. Similar to rodents, shrews live on the ground and are commonly found near human residences. In this study, we investigated the enteric virome of wild shrews in the genus Crocidura using a sequence-independent viral metagenomics approach. A large portion of the shrew enteric virome was composed of insect viruses, whilst novel viruses including...
