a novel astrovirus species in the gut of yaks with diarrhoea in the qinghai–tibetan plateau, 2013.	the yak (bos grunniens) is an iconic symbol in the high-altitude region of the qinghai–tibetan plateau. diarrhoea is a common disease in yaks, resulting in major economic losses. to investigate the diversity of viral species, we reported the metagenomics-derived virome in a pooled faecal sample of 20 diarrhoeic yaks. the nine viruses found in the pooled diarrhoeic samples, in order of abundance of nucleic acid sequence, were influenza a virus, bovine viral diarrhoea virus (bvdv), rotavirus, ungu ...	2015	26419604
first detection of ungulate tetraparvovirus 1 (bovine hokovirus 1) in domestic yaks in northwestern china.	we describe the discovery and phylogenetic analysis of ungulate tetraparvovirus 1 (also referred to as bovine hokovirus 1, b-parv4, or partetravirus) in domestic yaks (bos grunniens) in northwestern china. the yak b-parv4 genome was detected in yak blood samples by pcr, using b-parv4 primers corresponding to conserved regions. twenty-two of 370 samples were positive for a b-parv4-related genome sequence, indicating an overall prevalence of 5.95 %. the prevalence in qinghai province (13/195, 6.67 ...	2016	26483281
