Novel cycloviruses identified by mining human blood metagenomic data show close relationship to those from animals by Yuanqing Wang, Yuanqing Wang, Xiaojie Jiang, Yuan Xi, Siqi Wei, Songyi Ning, Wen Zhang, Wen Zhang

“…These proteins are crucial for viral replication and host-cell interaction: the Rep protein is involved in initiating viral genome replication, while the Capsid protein plays a key role in the assembly of new virions and the virus's ability to interact with host immune systems. Distance matrix and phylogenetic analyses show that these cycloviruses share high sequence similarity with viruses found in both humans and animals across different regions of Africa. …”
