Here, we report the sequences of six novel chapparvoviruses identified through both metagenomic sampling of bat tissues and in silico screening of published vertebrate genome assemblies. The novel chapparvoviruses share several distinctive genomic features and group together as a robustly supported monophyletic clade in phylogenetic trees. Our data indicate that chapparvoviruses have a broad host range in vertebrates and a global distribution.225-229engparvovirusevolutionvirus discoverymetagenomicsendogenous virusChapparvoviruses occur in at least three vertebrate classes and have a broad biogeographic distributionArtigo10.1099/jgv.0.000671WOS:000396115900012Acesso abertoWOS000396115900012.pdf02995832486672940299583248667294
