A Highly Divergent Picornavirus Infecting the Gut Epithelia of Zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) in Research Institutions Worldwide
2 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Zebrafish have been extensively used as a model system for research in vertebrate development and pathogen–host interactions. We describe the complete genome of a novel picornavirus identified during a viral metagenomics analysis of zebrafish gut tissue. The closest relatives of this virus showed identity of <20% in their P1 capsids and <36% in their RdRp qualifying zebrafish picornavirus-1 (ZfPV-1) as...
