Isolation of an adeno associated virus from sheep. Brief report.
An adenovirus and a spherical virus 20--24 nm diameter were isolated from ovine faeces. The small virus replicated in the nucleus, and was associated especially with the nucleolus. It haemagglutinated guinea pig and human erythrocytes, was thermostable and required an adenovirus for replication. It is concluded that this represents the first recorded isolate of an ovine AAV.
