Bopivirus A is a species in the genus Bopivirus (from bovine picornavivrus).

The genome sequence of a novel bovine picornavirus has been placed on the public databases (R. Tokarz & W.I. Lipkin, unpub.). It appears to lack a leader polypeptide and is most closely related to the erboviruses. A second genotype has been reported (László et al., 2021).
