Abstract

We described three novel avastroviruses identified in dead wild crows by next-generation and Sanger sequencing. They shared 40-50% nucleotide identities to known avastroviruses, and formed a new cluster in the genus Avastrovirus. This study highlighted the continually expanding host range and increasing genetic diversity of avastroviruses.
