Identification of Circovirus Genome in a Chinstrap Penguin (<i>Pygoscelis antarcticus</i>) and Adélie Penguin (<i>Pygoscelis adeliae</i>) on the Antarctic Peninsula

Circoviruses infect a variety of animal species and have small (~1.8–2.2 kb) circular single-stranded DNA genomes. Recently a penguin circovirus (PenCV) was identified associated with an Adélie Penguin (<i>Pygoscelis adeliae</i>) with feather disorder and in the cloacal swabs of three as...
