Description
Summary:Gyroviruses are small single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses that are largely associated with birds. Chicken anemia virus is the most extensively studied gyrovirus due to its disease impact on the poultry industry. However, we know much less about gyroviruses infecting other avian species. To investigate gyroviruses infecting waterfowl, we determined six complete genome sequences that fall into three gyrovirus groups, referred to as waterfowl gyrovirus 1 (n = 3), 2 (n = 2), and 3 (n = 1), in organs from hunter-harvested waterfowl from Arizona (USA). The waterfowl gyrovirus 1 variants were identified in multiple organs of a single American wigeon and represent a tentative new species. The waterfowl gyrovirus 2 variants were identified in the livers of two American wigeons and share >70% VP1 nucleotide sequence identity with gyrovirus 9, previously identified in the spleen of a Brazilian Pekin duck (MT318123) and a human fecal sample (KP742975). Waterfowl gyrovirus 3 was identified in a northern pintail spleen sample, and it shares >73% VP1 nucleotide sequence identity with two gyrovirus 13 sequences previously identified in Brazilian Pekin duck spleens (MT318125 and MT318127). These gyroviruses are the first to be identified in waterfowl in North America, as well as in American wigeons and northern pintails.
