Detection and Molecular Characterization of Picobirnaviruses (PBVs) in the Mongoose: Identification of a Novel PBV Using an Alternative Genetic Code

We report high rates of detection (35.36%, 29/82) of genogroup-I (GI) picobirnaviruses (PBVs) in non-diarrheic fecal samples from the small Indian mongoose (<i>Urva auropunctata</i>). In addition, we identified a novel PBV-like RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene sequence that uses...
