Abstract:
Neboviruses (NeVs) are important causative agents of calf diarrhea that belong to the family Caliciviridae. In this study, we investigated the genomic characteristics of a NeV strain from yaks that has a novel RdRp genotype. The complete genome of this strain (YAK/NRG-A9/19/CH) is 7454 nt in length and shares 68.3%-79.7% nt sequence identity with those of other NeVs. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene of this strain shares 66.5%-78.5% nt sequence identity (74.0%-89.3% aa sequence identity) with the eight available complete NeV RdRp sequences, and a phylogenetic analysis based on these sequences showed that the new strain formed an independent branch, indicating that the RdRp of strain YAK/NRG-A9/19/CH may represent a novel RdRp genotype of NeV. These results contribute to a further understanding of the molecular characteristics and genetic evolution of NeVs.
