	Senecavirus is a picornavirus genus containing a two species, Senecavirus valles (formerly named Seneca Valley virus & Senecavirus A) and *Senecavirus cetus. Please note for Senecavirus valles: it is only the species name which has changed and the virus name continues to be Seneca Valley virus*.

	The sequence of a seneca-like virus has recently been found in a pangolin in China.
