A novel cyclovirus was identified in the intestinal contents of Taiwan squirrels (Callosciurus erythraeus thaiwanensis) collected in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, by metagenomic analysis, and was named Taiwan squirrel cyclovirus-1 (TsCyV-1). Phylogenetic analysis showed that TsCyV-1 formed a branch separate from other representative cyclovirus strains. TsCyV-1 is considered to be a new species in the genus Cyclovirus because the criteria for demarcation of cyclovirus species is proposed as nucleotide identities <80 %.

D012589	Sciuridae	A family of the order Rodentia which contains 49 genera. Some of the more common genera are MARMOTA, which includes the marmot and woodchuck; Sciurus, the gray squirrel, S. carolinensis, and the fox squirrel, S. niger; Tamias, the eastern and western chipmunk; and Tamiasciurus, the red squirrel. The flying squirrels, except the scaly-tailed Anomaluridae, also belong to this family.
