- Abstract
Novel bovine parechoviruses (Bo ParVs) were isolated from the feces of Japanese black cattle. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the novel Bo ParVs formed an independent cluster, exhibiting 72.2โ75.6% nucleotide sequence identity to previous Bo ParVs, suggesting that they represent a new genotype. Bo ParVs, including the novel Bo ParVs, shared sequence similarity with each other in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) and exhibited low sequence similarity (<38.9% identity) to other parechoviruses. However, a secondary structure prediction of the 3'UTR revealed that the Bo ParVs shared conserved motifs in domain 2 with parechovirus B and E, suggesting some evolutionary constrains in this region.
