Hepeliviruses in two waterbodies in Berlin, Germany

The order Hepelivirales comprises RNA viruses of four families ( Alphatetraviridae , Benyviridae , Hepeviridae, and Matonaviridae ). Sequencing of virus genomes from water samples from the Havel River and the Teltow Canal (Teltowkanal) in Berlin, Germany, revealed 25 almost complete and 68 partial g...

Description
Summary:The order Hepelivirales comprises RNA viruses of four families ( Alphatetraviridae , Benyviridae , Hepeviridae, and Matonaviridae ). Sequencing of virus genomes from water samples from the Havel River and the Teltow Canal (Teltowkanal) in Berlin, Germany, revealed 25 almost complete and 68 partial genomes of viruses presumably belonging to the order Hepelivirales . Only one of these viruses exhibited a relationship to a known member of this order. The members of one virus clade have a polymerase with a permuted order of the conserved palm subdomain motifs resembling the polymerases of permutotetraviruses and birnaviruses. Overall, our study further demonstrates the diversity of hepeliviruses and indicates the enzootic prevalence of hepeliviruses in unknown hosts.
