The genus Rotavirus comprises eight species designated A to H and one tentative species, Rotavirus I. In a virus metagenomic analysis of Schreiber's bats sampled in Serbia in 2014 we obtained sequences likely representing novel rotavirus species. Whole genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis classified the representative strain into a tentative tenth rotavirus species, we provisionally called Rotavirus J. The novel virus shared a maximum of 50% amino acid sequence identity within the VP6 gene to currently known members of the genus. This study extends our understanding of the genetic diversity of rotaviruses in bats.
轮状病毒属包括8个种，分别命名为A至H，以及一个暂定种——轮状病毒I。在对2014年于塞尔维亚采集的施赖伯氏蝙蝠进行的病毒宏基因组分析中，我们获得了可能代表新型轮状病毒种的序列。全基因组测序和系统发育分析将代表性毒株归类为暂定的第十种轮状病毒，我们暂将其称为轮状病毒J。该新型病毒的VP6基因与该属目前已知成员的氨基酸序列同一性最高为50%。这项研究扩展了我们对蝙蝠轮状病毒遗传多样性的认识。
