Novel polyomavirus in the endangered garden dormouse Eliomys quercinus
In conclusion, here we describe a novel polyomavirus in the garden dormouse with molecular and serological detection. Pairwise sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis suggest that this novel virus may represent a novel species within the genus Alphapolyomavirus. Future work should examine if this virus is garden dormouse-specific and whether it is associated with disease in dormice.
