The genomic and epidemiological investigations of enteric viruses of domestic caprine (<i>Capra hircus</i>) revealed the presence of multiple novel viruses related to known strains of humans and ruminant livestock species.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Compared with other domestic animals, the virome and viral diversity of small ruminants especially in caprine are less studied even of its zoonotic potential. In this study, the enteric virome of caprine was investigated in detail using next-generation sequencing and reverse transcription PCR techniques. The complete or nearly complete genomes of seven novel viruses were determined which show a close phylogenetic relationship to known human and ruminant viruses. The high similarity between the identified caprine tusavirus (family Parvoviridae) and an unassigned CRESS DNA virus with closely related human strains could indicate the (reverse) zoonotic potential of these viruses. Others, like astroviruses (family Astroviridae), enteroviruses, or novel caripivir
