“…Although Hubei tombus-like virus has been commonly classified as a plant virus, this definition has changed recently when unassigned Hubei tombus-like viruses (8 and 20) were discovered in invertebrate animals (Reuter et al, 2019). We believe this is one more instance where analysis of the fecal virome led to the identification of a previously unknown dietary-related virus (Shi et al 2016;Reuter et al 2019;Miranda et al 2023).…”

The porcupine (Coendou spinosus) is a rodent species widely distributed in the Brazilian Atlantic forest. Like other rodent species, porcupines can be potential reservoirs of zoonotic agents. However, little is known about the viral diversity in these animals. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate, through massive sequencing, the virome of the feces of seven adult healthy free-living porcupines living in forest fragments from Silva Jardim, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A total of 41 viral families were classified, of which only seven were validated by both Kraken2 and Diamond taxonomic analysis tools, including bacteriophages (Siphoviridae, Myoviridae, Podoviridae), vertebrate viruses, such as Papillomaviridae, and unclassified RNA viruses. In addition, we also observed the presence of pathogenic bacteria and fungi already described in porcupines. The present study describes for the first time the microbiome in fecal samples from Brazilian porcupines, contributing to the global metagenomic characterization.
