Virome in Fecal Samples From Wild Giant Pandas (Ailuropoda Melanoleuca)

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is one of the most endangered mammals in the world; anthropogenic habitat loss and poaching still threaten the survival of wild pandas. Viral infection has become one of the potential threats to the health of these animals, but the available information relat...
