Resumo

In this study, we analyzed the viral population in oropharyngeal samples from T. brasiliensis using a viral metagenomic approach. Genomes corresponding to members of the families Circoviridae, Genomoviridae, Herpesviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Coronaviridae, and Astroviridae were detected. This study provides the first preliminary understanding of the oropharyngeal virome of T. brasiliensis, which may guide the discovery and isolation of novel viruses in the future and highlights the need for continuing investigations in this regard.
