Conclusions
In
this study, we report multiple novel viruses from different viral
families in nasal and anal swabs collected from rodents in the Hainan
Province. These findings greatly
increase our knowledge of the rodent-borne virus community on Hainan
Island and provide basic data for analysing the evolutionary
independence of viruses. The
pathogenicity and the associated impact of these novel viruses on humans
and animals should be evaluated in further studies.
