# Metagenome-assembled microvirus and cressdnavirus genomes from fecal samples of house mice (Mus musculus)

## TL;DR

This study identified 14 cressdnavirus and 59 microvirus genomes in fecal samples from house mice living near primates at the Duke Lemur Center.

## Contribution

The study provides new insights into the virome of house mice in anthropogenic environments.

## Key findings

- 14 cressdnavirus genomes were identified in mouse feces.
- 59 microvirus genomes were discovered in the same fecal samples.
- The study highlights the diversity of viruses in house mice near primate enclosures.

## Abstract

House mice, Mus musculus, are highly adapted to anthropogenic spaces. Fecal samples were collected from house mice entering primate enclosure areas at the Duke Lemur Center (Durham, NC, USA). We identified 14 cressdnavirus and 59 microvirus genomes in these mouse feces.
