Family: Hepadnaviridae

Genus: Metahepadnavirus

Distinguishing features

Metagenomic sequence analysis of lip tissues from bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus, Perciformes, Actinopterygii) with orocutaneous neoplasms in two fish populations from an aquarium in Georgia USA revealed hepadnavirus-like sequences, which were further confirmed by PCR amplification and sequencing with specific primers. This virus is designated as bluegill hepatitis B virus, (BGHBV).

Distinguishing features

Mastadenoviruses infect mammals only, and have been distinguished traditionally from members of other adenovirus genera by serology (since genus members share complement-fixing antigen). Only mastadenoviruses have proteins IX and V.
