Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are the most abundant carnivore species in the Northern Hemisphere. Since their populations are well established in peri-urban and urban areas, they represent a potential reservoir of viruses that transmit from wildlife to humans or domestic animals. In this study, we evaluated the faecal virome of juvenile and adult foxes from peri-urban areas in central Croatia. The dominating mammalian viruses were fox picobirnavirus and parvovirus. The highest number of viral reads (N=1412) was attributed to a new fox circovirus and complete viral genome was de novo assembled from the high-throughput sequencing data. Fox circovirus is highly similar to dog circoviruses identified in diseased dogs in USA and Italy, and to a recently discovered circovirus of foxes with neurologic disease from the United Kingdom. Our fox picobirnavirus was more closely related to the porcine and human picobirnaviruses than to known fox picobirnaviruses.
赤狐(Vulpes vulpes)是北半球数量最多的食肉动物物种。由于它们在城郊和城市地区数量众多,它们成为了病毒从野生动物传播给人类或家畜的潜在宿主。在本研究中,我们评估了克罗地亚中部城郊地区幼年和成年狐狸的粪便病毒组。主要的哺乳动物病毒是狐狸微小双股RNA病毒和细小病毒。病毒读数最高的(N = 1412)是一种新的狐狸圆环病毒,其完整病毒基因组是根据高通量测序数据从头组装而成。狐狸圆环病毒与在美国和意大利患病犬中鉴定出的犬圆环病毒,以及最近在英国发现的患有神经疾病的狐狸圆环病毒高度相似。我们的狐狸微小双股RNA病毒与猪和人类的微小双股RNA病毒的亲缘关系比与已知的狐狸微小双股RNA病毒更近。
