Nearly full-length genome sequences spanning the entire protein-coding regions were determined for 2 bovine and 4 ovine strains of the PARV4-related parvoviruses identified in the present study by using our genome sequencing strategy [19] . Briefly, DNA extracted from the corresponding specimens was used as template and amplified by degenerate primers designed from multiple alignment of PARV4 and related sequences available in NCBI GenBank. Additional primers were designed from the first and subsequent rounds of sequencing. Non-overlapping regions were confirmed by independent PCR and sequencing reactions by using specific primers, and no sequence discrepancies were found between repeated sequencing of any region. Sequences of genome amplification and sequencing primers are available from the authors upon request. For sequencing of the terminal regions, a modified protocol for rapid amplification of cDNA ends was adopted [25] . Sequences were assembled and manually edited to produce final sequences of the viral genomes.
