- Abstract
Three cycloviruses (genus Cyclovirus, family Circoviridae) were recovered from a dragonfly (Odonata: Anisoptera) captured in Fuzhou, China. The three cycloviruses, named dragonfly associated cyclovirus 9, 10 and 11 (DfCyV-9, -10, -11), respectively, show 56.1-79.6% genome-wide identity to known cycloviruses and 61.6-65.1% among themselves. Thus, according to the current species demarcation criteria, they represent three novel cycloviruses. Notably, DfCyV-10 has a predicted replication-associated protein (Rep) that is most similar to that of bat associated cyclovirus 2 (BatACyV-2), a cyclovirus discovered in China, with 79.4% amino acid sequence identity, but a putative capsid protein (Cp) most similar to that of BatACyV-10, a cyclovirus discovered in Brazil, with 71.7% amino acid sequence identity. These data are useful for understanding the diversity and evolution of cycloviruses, especially those found in insects.
