<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p>Pathogen surveillance in animals does not provide a sufficient level of vigilance because it is generally confined to surveillance of pathogens with known economic impact in domestic animals and practically nonexistent in wildlife species. As most (re-)emerging viral infections originate from animal sources, it is important to obtain insight into viral pathogens present in the wildlife reservoir from a public health perspective. When monitoring living, free-ranging wildlife for viruses, sample collection can be challenging and availability of nucleic acids isolated from samples is often limited. The development of viral metagenomics platforms allows a more comprehensive inventory of viruses present in wildlife. We report a metagenomic viral survey of the Western Arctic herd of barren ground caribou (<italic>Rangifer tarandus granti</italic>
) in Alaska, USA. The presence of mammalian viruses in eye and nose swabs of 39 free-ranging caribou was investigated by random amplification combined with a metagenomic analysis approach that applied exhaustive iterative assembly of sequencing results to define taxonomic units of each metagenome. Through homology search methods we identified the presence of several mammalian viruses, including different papillomaviruses, a novel parvovirus, polyomavirus, and a virus that potentially represents a member of a novel genus in the family <italic>Coronaviridae</italic>

<abstract><p>Pathogen surveillance in animals does not provide a sufficient level of vigilance because it is generally confined to surveillance of pathogens with known economic impact in domestic animals and practically nonexistent in wildlife species. As most (re-)emerging viral infections originate from animal sources, it is important to obtain insight into viral pathogens present in the wildlife reservoir from a public health perspective. When monitoring living, free-ranging wildlife for viruses, sample collection can be challenging and availability of nucleic acids isolated from samples is often limited. The development of viral metagenomics platforms allows a more comprehensive inventory of viruses present in wildlife. We report a metagenomic viral survey of the Western Arctic herd of barren ground caribou (<italic>Rangifer tarandus granti</italic>
) in Alaska, USA. The presence of mammalian viruses in eye and nose swabs of 39 free-ranging caribou was investigated by random amplification combined with a metagenomic analysis approach that applied exhaustive iterative assembly of sequencing results to define taxonomic units of each metagenome. Through homology search methods we identified the presence of several mammalian viruses, including different papillomaviruses, a novel parvovirus, polyomavirus, and a virus that potentially represents a member of a novel genus in the family <italic>Coronaviridae</italic>

<body><sec id="s1"><title>Introduction</title>
<p>Barren-ground caribou (<italic>Rangifer tarandus granti</italic>
) is a wild-living subspecies of reindeer in Alaska and Canada. The Western Arctic caribou herd (WACH) in Alaska is the largest caribou herd in North America, occupying the northwestern part of the state. The size of the WACH reached a population apex of ∼490,000 individuals in 2003, but has declined to ∼325,000 animals in 2011, which was likely due to varying climate conditions, population density, predation, and disease outbreaks, or a combination of these factors. The WACH follows general movement patterns for each season of the year ranging over a 140,000 square mile area bounded by the Arctic Ocean, lower Yukon River, and the trans-Alaska pipeline. In spring, mature cows travel north to the calving grounds, and bulls and immature cows move north-west to the summer range. After calving, cows and calves travel west to join the remainder of the herd. By fall the herd is most dispersed and starts migrating southwest to the winter grounds. The caribou are an integral part of the ecology and sociology of the circumpolar North and since 2000, an estimated 10,000–15,000 Western Arctic caribou have been killed each year for subsistence within the range of the herd (Alaska state department). Caribou represent a wildlife reservoir for viruses that can be transmitted to semi-domesticated reindeer (<italic>R. t. tarandus</italic>
), and in some cases possibly also to other wild ruminants <xref rid="pone.0105227-dasNeves1" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref>
. Since 1996, the WACH expanded their seasonal migratory routes, embracing the eastern half of Seward Peninsula and westwards, where caribou had been absent for more than 150 years <xref rid="pone.0105227-Dau1" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>
. This has increased the contact with herded reindeer, which to a large extent have out-migrated with the caribou. Both the caribou and the reindeer herds are free-ranging. Interaction and interbreeding between wild and semi-domesticated reindeer species is common and has also occurred in Alaska (Hunderdtmark and Groves, unpublished data).</p>
<p>Surveillance of viruses in caribou is scarce <xref rid="pone.0105227-Evans1" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>
, mostly based on serological assays identifying antibodies against circulating viruses or, possibly, cross-reacting agents. This baseline knowledge is relevant, especially if diseased animals are identified or if epizootics appear. Knowledge on virus infections in caribou, and especially the WACH with its contact to reindeer herding on the Seward Peninsula, is crucial, because diseases may play a role in the declining population, and also because some viruses are expected to be transmitted between reindeer/caribou and other ruminant species. Few studies have been conducted to try to identify viruses in caribou through isolation, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or metagenomic surveys <xref rid="pone.0105227-Evans2" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>
. Random amplification of nucleic acids and next-generation sequencing with metagenomics analyses has been successful in recent years in identifying new viruses from wild animals <xref rid="pone.0105227-Smits1" ref-type="bibr">[5]</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0105227-Mokili1" ref-type="bibr">[7]</xref>
. However, the availability and volume of samples obtained from living wild animals is often limited and viral loads in samples may be low, allowing only few virus characterization steps beyond the metagenomic assay. By optimally assembling sequences in metagenomic studies, the likelihood of identifying and characterizing viral genomes could potentially be increased.</p>
<p>In contrast to whole genome sequencing, metagenomes comprise a variety of differentially abundant species, and there can be substantial interpopulation diversity within a single species. Whether two reads originate from the same gene as an entity is depending on many factors; abundance of the organism in the sample, size and copy number of the gene in the original sample <xref rid="pone.0105227-Venter1" ref-type="bibr">[8]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0105227-Kunin1" ref-type="bibr">[9]</xref>
, effectiveness of enrichment strategies <xref rid="pone.0105227-Hall1" ref-type="bibr">[10]</xref>
, amplification biases introduced during random amplification <xref rid="pone.0105227-Rosseel1" ref-type="bibr">[11]</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0105227-Karlsson1" ref-type="bibr">[13]</xref>
, biases inherent to next-generation sequencing protocols <xref rid="pone.0105227-Ross1" ref-type="bibr">[14]</xref>
, and depth of sequencing and read lengths <xref rid="pone.0105227-Wendl1" ref-type="bibr">[15]</xref>
. In theory, two reads of the same taxonomic unit should be assembled into a single contig if they have sufficient overlap. Most assemblers are designed for single genome assemblies and therefore identify highly covered regions as possible repeats rather than highly abundant organisms within a metagenomic sample <xref rid="pone.0105227-Breitbart1" ref-type="bibr">[16]</xref>
or regions with a highly uneven coverage across the genome <xref rid="pone.0105227-Hansen1" ref-type="bibr">[12]</xref>
. In addition, sequence diversity as present in a population of pathogens might hamper successful assembly, and some reports recommend that metagenomic datasets should not be assembled at all <xref rid="pone.0105227-Mavromatis1" ref-type="bibr">[17]</xref>
.</p>
<p>The fewer sequences subjected to <italic>de novo</italic>
assembly, the fewer pairwise comparisons have to be made, thereby reducing time of computation and memory usage and increasing the probability of correct assembly. Especially greedy assembly algorithms that join individual reads together, starting with the best overlapping pair, as implemented in Phrap (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.phrap.org">http://www.phrap.org</ext-link>
) or CAP3 <xref rid="pone.0105227-Huang1" ref-type="bibr">[18]</xref>
might miss a non-optimal overlap. In contrast, overlap-layout-consensus (OLC) assemblers start with a global analysis by constructing an overlap graph from the pairwise comparisons before consensus computation <xref rid="pone.0105227-Pop1" ref-type="bibr">[19]</xref>
. However, practical implementations of OLC, like Newbler <xref rid="pone.0105227-Margulies1" ref-type="bibr">[20]</xref>
, Celera assembler <xref rid="pone.0105227-Denisov1" ref-type="bibr">[21]</xref>
or Arachne <xref rid="pone.0105227-Batzoglou1" ref-type="bibr">[22]</xref>
, assemble contigs rather conservative, meaning that only contigs with a high fidelity are formed <xref rid="pone.0105227-Pop1" ref-type="bibr">[19]</xref>
.</p>
<p>In this study, we applied different assembly algorithms on trimmed sequencing reads of metagenomes obtained from eye and nose swabs from caribou from the WACH, having a basically unknown health status in terms of viral infections, to determine an optimal assembly approach. An initial assembly with an overlap-layout-consensus (OLC) assembler (Newbler) followed by iterative rounds of elongation of these contigs with a well-established greedy assembly algorithm (CAP3) appeared to perform best. After convergence of the assemblies, the resulting contigs and singletons were subjected to homology searches. This approach identified a variety of mammalian viruses in eye and nose swabs of caribou, including novel viruses.</p>

<p>Samples were collected from live adult caribou (n = 39, 25 females, 14 males) from the Western Arctic caribou herd. Animals were caught and held against the side of the boat when swimming across to the southern river bank of Kobuk River, at Onion Portage (67° 5.4′; -158° 18.8′), in September 2012 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0105227-g001">Figure 1</xref>
; <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0105227.s003">Table S1</xref>
). No specific clinic disease signs were recorded for any of the animals and the animals were assumed to be healthy. A swab sample (sterile cotton; SelfaTrade, Spånga, Sweden) was obtained from the mucosa of the lower eye lid and from the nose, 3–4 cm inside one nostril, from each animal. The swabs were transferred to sterile cryotubes containing 800 µl of cell culture medium (Eagles Minimal Essential Medium; EMEM, Biochrom, Berlin, Germany) containing antibiotics (penicillin 100 U/ml, streptomycin 100 µg/ml, gentamicin 50 µg/ml, amphotericin B 2.5 µg/ml). The swabs were kept cool at the sampling site, frozen the same day on liquid nitrogen and kept at −80°C.</p>

<p>Iterative exhaustive assembly of sequences is part of a virus discovery pipeline written in the python programming language (Python 2.7) that includes trimming of reads and initial assembly with Newbler (454GS Assembler version 2.7, Roche), with standard parameters. Trimmed reads and initial contigs were subjected to assembly by CAP3 (VersionDate: 12/21/07) with standard parameters. The resulting singletons and contigs were iteratively assembled by CAP3 until no new contigs were formed. Subsequently, the trimmed reads were mapped back to the identified taxonomic units with Newbler (454 GSMapper version 2.7, Roche) using a minimum length of 75 nucleotide and otherwise standard parameters. Resulting contigs and singletons were filtered with Dustmasker which is part of the NCBI-BLAST+ 2.2.25 suite of tools for sequences that contain more than 60% low complexity sequences.</p>
<p>A number of 15 000 (once), 10 000 (six times) and 5000 reads (six times) were simulated with Metasim version 0.9.1 <xref rid="pone.0105227-Richter1" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>
from a database containing 2314 human genes, 12 microbial genomes, and 50 viral genomes, with varying copy numbers (1–50). The reads were simulated with a 454-specific error profile and a mean length of 252 bases. From these thirteen simulated metagenomes, a single read per gene or genome was extracted, resulting in datasets with between 1218 to 3288 reads, called taxonomic units. These thirteen sets, along with the 78 reindeer metagenomes, were subjected to <italic>de novo</italic>
assembly with six different assembly strategies. “Iterative assembly” and “Iterative assembly + mapping” were performed as described above, but the former omitted the final step of mapping of the trimmed reads. The “Newbler” method was carried out with GS Assembler version 2.7, Roche, with standard parameters. For “CAP3”, sequences were assembled once with CAP3 (VersionDate 12/21/07) with standard parameters.

was applied to both eye and nose swabs. To obtain insight in the performance of different assembly strategies, the percentage of reads that was assembled into contigs (as opposed to “singletons”) was compared for each of the samples with different assembly algorithms (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0105227-g002">Figure 2</xref>
). Between 664 and 43 702 trimmed reads per sample were obtained from the caribou nose and eye swabs (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0105227.s003">Table S1</xref>
). All reads were trimmed with Newbler and subjected to either a single <italic>de novo</italic>
assembly with Newbler, CAP3, Mira, or a de Bruijn graph algorithm (CLC Genomic workbench assembler). The fifth method was composed of an initial assembly with Newbler, after which contigs and singletons were pooled and subjected to exhaustive iterative assembly with CAP3 until convergence of the assembly (“Iterative”) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0105227-g002">Figure 2</xref>
and <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0105227.s001">Figure S1</xref>
). Finally, exhaustive iterative assembly was combined with mapping of the trimmed reads with GSMapper to the contigs and singletons that were the result of the converged iterative assembly (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0105227-g002">Figure 2</xref>
and <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0105227.s001">Figure S1</xref>
). While the exhaustive iterative assembly approach with mapping had significantly more reads assembled than Newbler alone (Mann-Whitney test, one-tailed, paired, p = 2.512 e-14) and Mira (p = 1.256 e-14), this is not the case for assembly with CLC Genomics Workbench, CAP3, or for exhaustive iterative assembly without mapping (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0105227-g002">Figure 2</xref>
). Thus, the exhaustive iterative assembly approach with or without mapping and CLC Genomics Workbench seems to give the best results in terms of compression of the output for homology searches. In other words, the amount of taxonomic units that needed analyses through homology searches was reduced significantly (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0105227-g002">Figure 2</xref>

<p>To receive an indication for the stringency of the different assembly strategies, we simulated thirteen independent metagenomic datasets containing human, bacterial and viral sequences and extracted a single read per gene or genome. In such a dataset, by definition, any assembly would be chimeric. We conducted <italic>de novo assembly</italic>
with the six different assembly strategies on all thirteen datasets as described above (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0105227-g002">Figure 2</xref>
, grey boxes). Four assembly strategies had very low chimera rates with a median of less than 0.5% (Newbler, CAP3, iterative assembly and iterative assembly with mapping). Mira showed a median chimera rate of 1.5% and CLC Genomics Workbench median of 9.4% with the tested parameters. Thus, the exhaustive iterative assembly approach with or without mapping seemed to give the best results in terms of reliability of the assembly and compression of the output. To achieve the optimal assembly confidence level, the caribou dataset analysis was performed with exhaustive iterative assembly approach with mapping of original trimmed reads.</p>

<sec id="s3b"><title>Viral content of metagenomic samples</title>
<p>Most taxonomic units of all metagenomic samples of caribou eye and nose swabs were of eukaryotic origin (range 39 to 88%), followed by unknown (8 to 46%) and bacterial origin (0.4 to 17%) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0105227-g003">Figure 3</xref>
). The viral content ranged from 0 (nose swab of animal 28) to 6.6%. There was no significant difference in taxonomic content between eye and nose swabs in these broad categories, however, the taxonomic content of the different samples varied substantially. The nasal swab of animal 26 (adult female) constituted an outlier. This was exemplified by plotting the theoretical quantiles of the normal distribution against the sample quantiles of the compression factors (number of reads divided by the number of taxonomic units after assembly, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0105227.s003">Table S1</xref>

), the duplication levels (defined as the mean percentage of reads that were not unique within a random selection of five times 500 trimmed reads) and the number of filtered taxonomic units containing more than 60% low complexity sequence of all samples (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0105227.s002">Figure S2</xref>
). Consequently, 37.9% of the taxonomic units of this sample were filtered as low complexity sequences before homology search, in contrast to a median of 5.5% low complexity sequences for other samples (data not shown). Accordingly, this sample did not contain any identifiable virus sequences.</p>

<sec id="s3c"><title>Papillomaviridae</title>
<p>With a total of 569 reads in 103 taxonomic units of 24 samples, members of the family <italic>Papillomaviridae</italic>
were the most prevalent identified mammalian viruses in the caribou samples (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0105227.s003">Table S1</xref>
). Papillomaviruses are classified on basis of the phylogenetic distance of the entire L1 sequence to other members of the family, taking into account the genome organization, biology, and pathogenicity. Intergeneric identities range from about 43–62%, interspecies identities from about 55–71%, and intraspecies identities from about 67–88% <xref rid="pone.0105227-Bernard1" ref-type="bibr">[28]</xref>

<p>Apart from a complete L1 sequence recovered from the eye swab of animal 26, two other large putative papillomavirus contigs were identified in the same sample. Together they covered a total of 7,079 bp of a putative reindeer papillomavirus by 275 reads, called <italic>Rangifer tarandus</italic>
papillomavirus RtPV4. The RtPV4 L1 nucleotide sequence of animal 26 was compared to known papillomaviruses for which a full-length L1 sequence was present in PAVE (#<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://pave.niaid.nih.gov/home">http://pave.niaid.nih.gov/#home</ext-link>
). A phylogenetic tree was generated for a subset of representative papillomaviruses for visibility (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0105227-g004">Figure 4A</xref>

<p>In many samples no full L1 sequence was retrieved from eye and/or nose swabs; therefore no official classification was possible.

(<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0105227-t001">Table 1</xref>
) by determining their closest homolog. Putative L1 taxonomic units from five nose swabs, but none from eye swabs, had a closest relative with human papillomaviruses with a nucleotide similarity between 75%-100% (not included in <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0105227-t001">Table 1</xref>
). The remaining five samples (three eye swabs and two nose swabs) from four different animals had in total seven putative L1 sequences (<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0105227-t001">Table 1</xref>

<sec id="s4"><title>Discussion</title>
<p>Pathogen surveillance in domestic animals and wildlife is a crucial aspect in trying to understand the etiology of disease, their impact on individual health as well as on populations over time, but also for preparedness for emerging viral diseases, as most (re-)emerging viral infections originate from an animal reservoir, as exemplified by the outbreaks of SARS coronavirus and H7N7 influenza A virus in which pathogen surveillance in animals, or its integration with public health, has faltered <xref rid="pone.0105227-Kuiken1" ref-type="bibr">[32]</xref>
. The advent of high-throughput sequencing and advanced bioinformatic analyses have enabled more substantiated identification and phylogeny studies of viruses present in wildlife reservoirs in recent years.</p>
<p>In this study, the presence of viruses in free-ranging caribou was studied by a metagenomic survey of swab samples obtained from the mucosa of the eye and nose. The obtained metagenomes were subjected to different assembly algorithms prior to homology search to optimize the chance of identifying viral species in the metagenome dataset. The assembly strategy and parameters should ideally be selected based on the focus and conditions of a study, as a study for comparison of different assemblers for viral metagenomes recently showed <xref rid="pone.0105227-VzquezCastellanos1" ref-type="bibr">[33]</xref>
and the choice might be different even for similar projects. The comparison of different assembly strategies applied here involved a limited number of assemblers with single parameter sets. In our hands, the exhaustive iterative assembly approach seemed optimal and was added to an automated virus discovery pipeline. Iterative assembly is also used by PRICE <xref rid="pone.0105227-Ruby1" ref-type="bibr">[34]</xref>
, an assembler for components of metagenomes in which an input target sequence is required. Our approach is completely <italic>de novo</italic>
and unsupervised. It ensures optimal assembly in our comparative analysis with Newbler, CAP3, Mira, and CLC Genomics Workbench, either in terms of reliability and/or compression of the output data. This approach therefore facilitates subsequent homology searches, as longer, more reliable queries are more likely to yield functional or taxonomic assignments by exhibiting homology to a previously characterized and deposited sequence. The strategy of iterative assembly applied in this study is easily transferable to different kinds of algorithms, assemblers, and parameters, or a mix thereof, depending on the nature of the data. The mapping step after convergence of the assembly ensures not only the validity of the assemblies, but also allows tracing the origin of single sequencing reads which allows an estimation of abundance of viral and other sequences. In the caribou cohort, consisting of presumably healthy animals sampled on their way south during their seasonal migration, up to 6.6% of the sequence reads were of viral origin in each sample, of which most were derived from bacteriophages.</p>
<p>Members of the family <italic>Papillomaviridae</italic>
were the most prevalent identified mammalian viruses in the caribou samples. L1 is the most conserved region among papillomaviruses and according to the current genus classification and its equidistance from <italic>Delta</italic>
- and <italic>Epsilonpapillomaviruses</italic>
, RtPV4 from an eye swab of animal 26 could be designated as a new papillomavirus genus of the family <italic>Papillomaviridae</italic>
. Interestingly, RtPV4 from <italic>Rangifer tarandus granti</italic>
in Alaska is more closely related to bovine papillomaviruses 1 and 2 in the L1 gene sequence, as compared to RtPV1 from Swedish reindeer (<italic>Rangifer t. tarandus</italic>
) and a papillomavirus from American white-tailed deer (<italic>Odocoileus virginianus</italic>
). In humans, papillomaviruses display high genetic diversity, with over 140 recognized types. For animals, however, more than ten papillomavirus types per host species have so far only been discovered in well studied vertebrates, such as cattle, dogs and macaques <xref rid="pone.0105227-Rector1" ref-type="bibr">[35]</xref>
. In reindeer, two types are described and so far genomically characterized in the genera <italic>Delta</italic>
- and <italic>Xipapillomavirus</italic>
<xref rid="pone.0105227-Smits1" ref-type="bibr">[5]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0105227-Terai1" ref-type="bibr">[36]</xref>
. This study revealed the presence of at least three different papillomavirus types in caribou. This suggests that members of the family <italic>Papillomaviridae</italic>
in reindeer are more diverse than currently acknowledged. Also human papillomaviruses were identified in this study, mainly in nose swabs, and they are likely to originate from contact with human skin. In this case, they assumingly originate from the sampling team. Although papillomaviruses have been identified a few times in reindeer <xref rid="pone.0105227-Evans2" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0105227-Eriksson1" ref-type="bibr">[37]</xref>
, not much knowledge exists on the etiology of papillomatosis in reindeer. The disease is observed from time to time, both in wild reindeer and semi-domesticated reindeer, although it is not considered as a common disease. Generalized papillomatosis may contribute to severe conditions and mortality of affected individuals, and the clinical impact on the population or herd level is expected to be restricted, but the impact of papillomavirus infections on reindeer in general should be further addressed.</p>
<p>Evidence for the presence of a member of the family <italic>Parvoviridae</italic>
was found in caribou 2. Dependent on the species, clinical signs following infection with a parvovirus can be absent or severe, including death <xref rid="pone.0105227-Berns1" ref-type="bibr">[38]</xref>
. Caribou parvovirus capsid sequences showed 70–75% nucleotide identity to bovine parvovirus 3. Bovine parvovirus 3 would be a member of the species ungulate erythroparvovirus 1 as recently proposed in a revision of the <italic>Parvoviridae</italic>
taxonomy <xref rid="pone.0105227-Cotmore1" ref-type="bibr">[30]</xref>
. The proposal will decrease species identity criteria significantly, requiring viruses within a species to encode complete NS1 proteins that show 85% amino acid sequence identity while diverging by 15% from viruses in other species <xref rid="pone.0105227-Cotmore1" ref-type="bibr">[30]</xref>
. Our data suggest that the caribou parvovirus would constitute a divergent species in the genus <italic>Erythrovirus</italic>
, as it displays ∼70% amino acid identity in a small fragment of NS1 to its closest relative bovine parvovirus 3.</p>
<p>The criteria utilized in creating new taxa for <italic>Polyomaviridae</italic>
will include biological properties as well as genetic relationships. These criteria will include (i) host range, (ii) genetic repertoire and (iii) DNA sequence identity over the whole genome (81–84% for species) <xref rid="pone.0105227-Johne1" ref-type="bibr">[31]</xref>
. The caribou polyomavirus was most closely related to chimpanzee polyomavirus in a parial large T antigen fragment and would likely constitute a new polyomavirus species. Polyomaviruses often persist as latent infections in a host without causing disease, but are potentially oncogenic <xref rid="pone.0105227-Delbue1" ref-type="bibr">[39]</xref>
. The caribou polyomavirus was detected in samples from both eye and nose mucosa, which is similar to the recently described equine polyomavirus that was detected in eye samples from horses with clinical uveitis <xref rid="pone.0105227-Renshaw1" ref-type="bibr">[40]</xref>
. Whether the caribou polyomavirus is involved in causing disease in caribou remains to be determined.</p>
<p>Possibly the most interesting observation is the presence of viral sequences with homology to bafini- and toroviruses in eye swabs of 3 apparently healthy caribou. The observed homology of sequence fragments of this caribou nidovirus with other viruses in the order <italic>Nidovirales</italic>
is very low and phylogenetic analysis of a partial helicase protein fragment suggest that the caribou nidovirus is a divergent species potentially representing a new genus in the family <italic>Coronaviridae</italic>
, subfamily <italic>Torovirinae</italic>
, which we tentatively called <italic>Carinivirus</italic>
for Caribou-associated nidovirus. Efforts to obtain more viral sequences were not successful, due to low viral titers in the samples and a restricted sample volume. Coronaviruses are thought to predominantly infect epithelia and are mostly associated with respiratory and gastrointestinal infections <xref rid="pone.0105227-deGroot1" ref-type="bibr">[41]</xref>
. It is of note that the caribou nidovirus sequences were detected in eye swabs of caribou only. The ability of coronaviruses to replicate in the eye has been described previously, where mouse hepatitis virus A59 was shown to induce optic neuritis in an experimental animal model <xref rid="pone.0105227-Shindler1" ref-type="bibr">[42]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0105227-Robbins1" ref-type="bibr">[43]</xref>
and feline coronaviruses were capable of causing uveitis <xref rid="pone.0105227-Stiles1" ref-type="bibr">[44]</xref>
. In addition, the presence of SARS coronavirus in tears has been reported <xref rid="pone.0105227-Loon1" ref-type="bibr">[45]</xref>
.</p>
<p>The discovery of new papilloma-, polyoma-, corona-, and parvoviruses from caribou as described here is an example of the required expansion of our knowledge of the virus diversity present in wildlife, as well as the potential transmission to and infection of other wildlife species, pets and production animals. The WACH population has declined since its recorded peak in 2003. Many different conditions, such as predators, weather and climatic conditions and diseases, may partly explain such fluctuations. Caribou individuals reaching the Kobuk River on their way south to their winter range may be considered as “winners”, being healthy and able to conduct such a strenuous seasonal migration. It is thus possible that individuals of the same population, that do not make it to the winter ranges, may suffer from similar infections and that they are also affected clinically. To search for associations between the virus infections detected during this work and potential disease and impact on individuals and the population, samples should be obtained from animals found dead or from individuals that, for some reason, do not migrate with the main herd to the winter pastures. The caribou monitored in this study appeared healthy and the disease potential of the newly identified viruses therefore remains to be determined.</p>
