Novel Cyclovirus Species in Dogs with Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis

Nested PCRs with circovirus/cyclovirus pan-<i>rep</i> (replicase gene) primers detected eukaryotic circular Rep-encoding single-stranded DNA (CRESS DNA) viruses in three (samples CN9E, CN16E and CN34) of 18 canine parvovirus-2-positive fecal samples from household dogs with hemorrhagic g...
