TL;DR
A complete genome of an Alphacoronavirus was found in a rat from France, offering new insights into coronaviruses in urban wildlife.
Contribution
The first coding-complete genome sequence of an Alphacoronavirus isolated from a rat in France is reported.
Findings
An Alphacoronavirus was detected in the colon of a Rattus norvegicus rat in Marseille, France.
The coding-complete genome sequence of the virus was successfully determined.
Abstract
Here, we described an Alphacoronavirus coding-complete genome identified in a French brown rat. This Alphacoronavirus was detected in Rattus norvegicus intestines (colon) collected in 2022 in Marseille, France.
