- Reassortment among picobirnaviruses found in wolvesPublication . Conceição-Neto, Nádia; Mesquita, João R; Zeller, Mark; Yinda, Claude Kwe; Álvares, Francisco; Roque, Sara; Petrucci-Fonseca, Francisco; Godinho, Raquel; Heylen, Elisabeth; Van Ranst, Marc; Matthijnssens, JelleWe conducted a viral metagenomics study in diarrheic free-ranging wolves in Portugal, revealing for the first time the presence of reassortant picobirnaviruses. These viruses shared identical capsid segments together with diverse RNA-dependent RNA polymerase segments. Even though causality between these picobirnaviruses and diarrhea could not be established, the study nonetheless confirms for the first time that wolves are a potential reservoir for picobirnaviruses, which might play a role as enteric pathogens.
