Abstract

Densoviruses (DVs) infect arthropods and belong to the Parvoviridae family. Here, we report the complete coding sequence of a novel DV isolated from the plant Hordeum marinum (Poaceae) by viral metagenomics, and we confirmed reamplification by PCR. Phylogenetic analyses showed that this novel DV is related to the genus Iteradensovirus.
