Abstract:Parvoviruses (familyParvoviridae) are defined by their linear monopartite ssDNA genome, T=1 icosahedral capsid, and distinct structural (VP) and non-structural (NS) protein expression cassettes within their genome. Here, we report the first parvovirus with a segmented genome, Acheta domesticus segmented densovirus (AdSDV), a house cricket (Acheta domesticus) pathogen. The AdSDV harbors its NS and VP cassettes on two separate segmented genomes. Its VP segment acquired a phospholipase A2-encoding gene via inter-… Show more
