cord-305024-343l2ha7	Sonntag, Michael	New Adenovirus in Bats, Germany	2009-12-17		.txt	text/plain	1686	82	44	We performed an extensive search for unknown viruses in 55 German vespertilionid bats based on both generic PCR assays and virus isolation techniques, as part of a broader study investigating histopathologic changes in German bats in association with infectious pathogens. The obtained sequence of a fragment of the DNA polymerase gene (≈550 bp) indicated that the viruses were a novel virus type within the genus Mastadenovirus and was tentatively named bat adenovirus 2 (bat AdV-2) strain P. Although viruses were not detected by various generic PCR assays from homogenized frozen tissue samples, we isolated a novel virus from a hibernating insectivorous bat species. The acquired partial sequence of the bat AdV-2 DNA polymerase with the closest relation to canine adenovirus (only 74% at the nucleic acid level) and the isolation from a new animal host suggests that this virus is a new adenovirus species within the genus Mastadenovirus.	./cache/cord-305024-343l2ha7.txt	./txt/cord-305024-343l2ha7.txt
