genome sequences of a rat polyomavirus related to murine polyomavirus, rattus norvegicus polyomavirus 1.

we amplified and sequenced six complete genomes of a polyomavirus from feral norway rats (rattus norvegicus) and from a long-term breeding colony derived from norway rats. this virus, which is closely related to hamster polyomavirus and murine polyomavirus, may contribute to understanding the evolutionary history of rodent polyomaviruses.
