Quail picornavirus 1, now named phacovirus A1
(PhV-A1), complete genome
sequence was deposited in the public databases on the 12-Sep-2011
(released on 15-11-2011); accession no. JN674502
(Pankovics et al., 2012). It appears to be most closely
related to the sapeloviruses.
A partial sequence from chickens with runting-stunting
syndrome (Kim et al., unpub.) is most closely related to
PhV-A1. It was named by the authors as chicken
picornavirus HK-2014 along with two partial sequences of a virus
most closely related to
chicken megrivirus. This sequence (partial 3CD) has 70% nt & 81%
aa identity to PhV-A1.
Related viruses have been identified in chickens in Hungary and the
USA (Boros et al., 2016).Genome organisation:
VPg+5’UTRIRES-IV[L/1A-1B-1C-1D/2A-2B-2C/3A-3BVPg-3Cpro-3Dpol]3’UTR-poly(A)
