| rabovirus: a proposed new picornavirus genus that is phylogenetically basal to enteroviruses and sapeloviruses. | we have sequenced the genome of a novel picornavirus, rabovirus a (rat-borne virus, rabov-a, nc_026314), which was present in the feces of a norway rat (rattus norvegicus) from berlin, germany. this virus is related to members of the genera enterovirus and sapelovirus. rabov-a contains a type ii ires that is unlike the type i ires elements of enteroviruses and the type iv elements of sapeloviruses. its genome is marked by an l protein and a chymotrypsin-like 2a protease. our analysis of genome o ... | 2015 | 26168710 |
