A Novel Chiropteran Circovirus Genome Recovered from a Brazilian Insectivorous Bat Species

This report describes the identification and characterization of a novel circovirus using metagenomic approaches in respiratory fluid samples from Brazilian free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis). The genome and deduced protein sequences share low identity with another circovirus recovered in dist...
