•We identified 13 anellovirus strains from 8 of 10 Paguma larvata in Japan.•The complete nucleotide sequences of the 13 anellovirus strains were determined.•The 13 strains were segregated into four distinct clades (genera).•The presence of at least 20 anellovirus genera was suggested. The members of...
