Two double-stranded RNA viruses, named Culex tritaeniorhynchus totivirus NJ2 (CTV_NJ2) and NJ3 (CTV_NJ3), were discovered from wild-captured Culex tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes. The complete genomes (7,624 and 7,612 bp in length) were obtained using RNA sequencing. Both CTV_NJ2 and CTV_NJ3 encode a putative capsid protein and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The most similar strain to CTV_NJ2/3 is Omono River virus strain AK4 (ORV-AK4). The CP and RdRp identities of AK4 are different to CTV_NJ2 (84% and 87%) and CTV_NJ3 (47% and 62%). Phylogenetic analysis showed that taxonomically speaking CTV_NJ2/3 grouped within the unclassified Totiviridae and formed a distinct clade with other arthropod-infecting viruses.
从野外捕获的三带喙库蚊中发现了两种双链RNA病毒,分别命名为三带喙库蚊全病毒NJ2(CTV_NJ2)和NJ3(CTV_NJ3)。通过RNA测序获得了完整基因组(长度分别为7624和7612 bp)。CTV_NJ2和CTV_NJ3均编码一种假定的衣壳蛋白和一种RNA依赖的RNA聚合酶。与CTV_NJ2/3最相似的毒株是小诸川病毒毒株AK4(ORV-AK4)。AK4的CP和RdRp同一性与CTV_NJ2(84%和87%)和CTV_NJ3(47%和62%)不同。系统发育分析表明,从分类学上讲,CTV_NJ2/3归类于未分类的全病毒科,并与其他感染节肢动物的病毒形成一个独特的进化枝。
