Chapparvoviruses are a highly divergent group of parvoviruses (family Parvoviridae) that have recently been identified via metagenomic sampling of animal faeces. Here, we report the sequences of six novel chapparvoviruses identified through both metagenomic sampling of bat tissues and in silico screening of published vertebrate genome assemblies. The novel chapparvoviruses share several distinctive genomic features and group together as a robustly supported monophyletic clade in phylogenetic trees. Our data indicate that chapparvoviruses have a broad host range in vertebrates and a global distribution.
环病毒是细小病毒科中一组高度多样化的细小病毒，最近通过对动物粪便进行宏基因组采样而被发现。在此，我们报告了通过蝙蝠组织宏基因组采样和已发表脊椎动物基因组组装序列的电子筛选鉴定出的六种新型环病毒的序列。这些新型环病毒具有几个独特的基因组特征，并在系统发育树中聚为一个得到有力支持的单系分支。我们的数据表明，环病毒在脊椎动物中具有广泛的宿主范围且分布于全球。
