Abstract
- The 2362 base pair sequence of the larger of the two double stranded RNA genome segments of a rabbit strain of picobirnavirus (PBV) has a major open reading frame (ORF) of 591 amino acids and two smaller ORFs of 55 and 155 amino acids. A clone of the segment did not hybridise with other viral bisegmented ds RNAs from faecal samples. There is no relationship in sequence or organisation between this PBV sequence and the bisegmented dsRNAs found associated with Cryptosporidium parvum. This suggests that there are at least two distinct classes of bisegmented dsRNA viruses or viral-like agents in faeces.
