Identification of a novel circular DNA virus in New Zealand fur seal (Arctocephalus forsteri) fecal matter

Genome Announcements, Volume 1, No. 4, Article e00558-13, Year 2013

Fur seal feces-associated circular DNA virus (FSfaCV) is a novel virus isolated from the fecal matter of New Zealand fur seals. FSfaCV has two main open reading frames in its 2,925-nucleotide (nt) genome. The replication-associated protein (Rep) of FSfaCV has similarity to Rep-like sequences in the Giardia intestinalis genome.
