Genus of viruses
The viral genus Cyclovirus is a genus in the family Circoviridae . Viruses in this genus have been isolated from dragonflies ,[ 1] as well as chickens, goats, sheep, and other farm animals.[ 2] Cycloviruses have also been found in the feces of healthy humans and chimpanzees[ 3] and in samples of cerebrospinal fluid from patients with unexplained paraplegia .[ 4]
