genome of a novel circovirus of starlings, amplified by multiply primed rolling-circle amplification.	the genus circovirus comprises small non-enveloped viruses with a circular single-stranded dna genome. by using pcr with degenerate primers, a novel circovirus (starling circovirus, stcv) was detected in spleen samples of wild starlings (sturnus vulgaris and sturnus unicolor) found dead during an epidemic outbreak of septicaemic salmonellosis in northeastern spain. using a specific pcr, stcv was also detected in apparently healthy birds from the same population. the genome was amplified using mu ...	2006	16603520
identification of starling circovirus in an estuarine mollusc (amphibola crenata) in new zealand using metagenomic approaches.	two complete genomes of starling circovirus (stcv) were recovered from amphibola crenata, an estuarine new zealand mollusc. this is the first report of stcv outside europe. the viral genomes were recovered from rolling circle-amplified enriched circular dna followed by back-to-back primers and specific primer pcr amplification.	2013	23723397
