Termites have a unique ability to effectively digest lignocellulose with the help of mutualistic symbionts. While gut bacteria and protozoa have been relatively well characterized in termites, the virome remains largely unexplored. Here, we report two genomes of microviruses (termite-associated microvirus-1 [TaMV-1] and termite-associated microvirus-2 [TaMV-2]) associated with the gut of .
白蚁具有在互利共生菌的帮助下有效消化木质纤维素的独特能力。虽然白蚁肠道中的细菌和原生动物已得到相对充分的研究，但病毒群落仍基本未被探索。在此，我们报告了两种与白蚁肠道相关的微小病毒基因组（白蚁相关微小病毒1 [TaMV-1] 和白蚁相关微小病毒2 [TaMV-2]）。
