First Report on Detection and Genetic Diversity of Picobirnaviruses in the Small Indian Mongoose (<i>Herpestes auropunctatus</i>)

Picobirnaviruses (PBVs), family <i>Picobirnaviridae</i>, are bi-segmented, double-stranded RNA viruses. PBVs are considered opportunistic enteric pathogens. Gene segment-1 of PBV encodes the capsid protein, whilst gene segment-2 codes for RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Based on dif...
