Genus: Thetatorquevirus

 

Distinguishing features

Members of the genus Thetatorquevirus have genomes of 1.8–2.7 kb and have been identified in bears (family Ursidae), racoons (family Procyonidae) and a pine marten (family Mustelidae).

Demarcation criteria for taxa within the genus

Different species in the genus have orf1 genes with <69% pairwise identity.

Genus

Genus: Sigmatorquevirus

Family: Anelloviridae

Genus: Sigmatorquevirus

 

Distinguishing features

Members of the genus Sigmatorquevirus have genomes of 2–2.1 kb and have been identified in fur seals and sea lions (family Otariidae).

Genus

Genus: Rhotorquevirus

Family: Anelloviridae

Genus: Rhotorquevirus

 

Distinguishing features

Members of the two species in the genus Rhotorquevirus have genomes of 2.2–2.3 kb and have been identified in a wood mouse (species Apodemus sylvaticus, family Muridae) and a bobcat (species Lynx rufus, family Felidae), although in the latter case this was a fecal sample and most likely prey-derived.
