| novel polyomaviruses in shrews (soricidae) with close similarity to human polyomavirus 12. | shrews (family soricidae) have already been reported to host microorganisms pathogenic for humans. in an effort to search for additional infectious agents with zoonotic potential, we detected polyomaviruses (pyvs) in common shrew, crowned shrew, and pygmy shrew (sorex araneus, s. coronatus and s. minutus). from these, 11 full circular genomes were determined. phylogenetic analysis based on large t protein sequences showed that these novel pyvs form a separate clade within the genus alphapolyomav ... | 2017 | 29095685 |
