| detection and genetic characterization of a novel parvovirus (family parvoviridae) in barn owls (tyto alba) in hungary. | in this study, a novel parvovirus (gyb-mr02/2015/hun, mt580795) was detected in barn owls (tyto alba) and genetically characterized using viral metagenomics and pcr methods. the ns1 and vp1 proteins of gyb-mr02/2015/hun share only 45.4% and 50.1% amino acid sequence identity, respectively, to the corresponding proteins of peafowl parvovirus 2 (mk988620), the closest relative. out of 11 faecal specimens from owls (six from little owls, three from barn owls, and two from long-eared owls), two barn ... | 2020 | 33136208 |
