- Abstract
A novel gyrovirus was detected in an intestinal specimen of a common pheasant that died due to poult enteritis and mortality syndrome. The genome of the pheasant-associated gyrovirus (PAGyV) is 2353 nucleotides (nt) long and contains putative genes for the VP1, VP2, and VP3 proteins in an arrangement that is typical for gyroviruses. Gyrovirus-specific motifs were identified in both the coding region and the intergenic region of the PAGyV genome. The VP1 of PAGyV shares up to 67.6% pairwise nt sequence identity with reference sequences and forms a distinct branch in the phylogenetic tree. Thus, according to the recently described species demarcation criteria, PAGyV belongs to a novel species in the genus Gyrovirus, family Anelloviridae, for which we propose the name "Gyrovirus phaco 1".
