title: Complete Genome Sequence of a Polyomavirus Recovered from a Pomona Leaf-Nosed Bat (Hipposideros pomona) Metagenome Data Set.
abstract: We report here the complete genome sequence of a polyomavirus found in a nasal/rectal metagenome of Hipposideros pomona (Pomona leaf-nosed bat). Interestingly, the genetic organization and phylogenetic relationships of the new virus suggest greater similarity to recently discovered fish-associated polyomaviruses rather than to polyomavirus species previously observed in bats.
