Seventeen porcine samples stool supernatants from 17 farms were analyzed using a generic viral particle-protected nucleic acid enrichment procedure followed by random amplification of extracted RNA and DNA (see materials and methods) [46, [54] [55] [56] . Amplified DNA was then subcloned and 1190 plasmid inserts were sequenced (70 for each of 17 samples). Nine samples (totaling 82 subclones) showed the presence of fragments whose virtual translation products were related to canine and human bocaviruses using BLASTx. Twenty-four clones from pig sample H18 and 26 clones from pig sample A6 showed significant similarity with bocaviruses. H18 derived sequences showed high (.99%) identity with the recently described porcine bocavirus-like virus (PBo-LikeV), the only porcine bocavirus reported at the time of these experiments (GenBank GU902971) [27] . Sequences from porcine sample A6 showed low identity with those of H18 and PBo-likeV. The H18 and A6 samples were selected for targeted viral genome amplification and sequencing.
