We report the genetic analysis of a pigeon circovirus (PiCV/Japan/2/2010) detected in a racing pigeon with diarrheal symptoms in western Japan. Sequencing revealed a genome size of 2,041 bp that contained 3 open reading frames (ORFs), designated V1, C1, and C2, a structure consistent with to those of other pigeon circoviruses. Phylogenetic analyses of the ORF C1 revealed that PiCV/Japan/2/2010 diverges from other Asian pigeon circoviruses, suggesting genetic diversity of pigeon circoviruses in Asia.
我们报告了在日本西部一只出现腹泻症状的赛鸽中检测到的一种鸽圆环病毒(PiCV/日本/2/2010)的基因分析情况。测序显示其基因组大小为2041 bp,包含3个开放阅读框(ORF),分别命名为V1、C1和C2,其结构与其他鸽圆环病毒一致。对ORF C1的系统发育分析表明,PiCV/日本/2/2010与其他亚洲鸽圆环病毒不同,这表明亚洲鸽圆环病毒存在遗传多样性。
