European bats are known to carry mastadenoviruses categorized as species B (widespread in European Vespertilionidae bats) and whose taxonomy has not been clarified. We examined fecal samples from Vespertilionidae bats (five species) captured in central Russia and found that 2\/12 (16%) were positive for mastadenoviruses. The partial genome of the mastadenovirus was assembled from Pipistrellus nathusii, representing the bat adenovirus species B. The complete genome (37,915 nt) of a novel mastadenovirus was assembled from Nyctalus noctula and named BatAdV\/MOW15-Nn19\/Quixote. Comparative studies showed significant divergence of the Quixote genome sequence from European bat mastadenoviruses, while the only known virus showing low similarity was the isolate WA3301 from an Australian bat, and together they formed a subclade that separated from other BatAdVs. Phylogenetic and comparative analysis of the protein-coding genes provided evidence that Quixote is related to a novel species within the genus Mastadenovirus, provisionally named \u201cK\u201d (as the next available letter for the species). Phylogenetic analyses revealed that some earlier viruses from Western European bats, for which only partial DNA polymerase genes are known, are most likely members of the tentatively named species \u201cK\u201d. Thus, at least two species of mastadenovirus are circulating in bats throughout Europe, from western to eastern areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v16081207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]],"date-time":"2024-07-26T13:04:59Z","timestamp":1721999099000},"page":"1207","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Novel Mastadenovirus from Nyctalus noctula Which Represents a Distinct Evolutionary Branch of Viruses from Bats in Europe"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6326-1249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna S.","family":"Speranskaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research Institute for Systems Biology and Medicine, Federal Service on Consumers\u2019 Rights Protection and Human Well-Being Surveillance, 117246 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3263-0755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander V.","family":"Dorokhin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, Ha-Metsadim 66 Maale-Adumim, 9842066 Jerusalem, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elena V.","family":"Korneenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research Institute for Systems Biology and Medicine, Federal Service on Consumers\u2019 Rights Protection and Human Well-Being Surveillance, 117246 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Saint Petersburg Pasteur Institute, 14 Ulitsa Mira, 197101 Saint Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ivan K.","family":"Chudinov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research Institute for Systems Biology and Medicine, Federal Service on Consumers\u2019 Rights Protection and Human Well-Being Surveillance, 117246 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Phystech School of Biological and Medical Physics, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Institutskiy per. 9, 141701 Dolgoprudny, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8284-3164","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrei E.","family":"Samoilov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research Institute for Systems Biology and Medicine, Federal Service on Consumers\u2019 Rights Protection and Human Well-Being Surveillance, 117246 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sergei V.","family":"Kruskop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zoological Museum, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Bolshaya Nikitskaya 2, 125009 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"001721","DOI":"10.1099\/jgv.0.001721","article-title":"ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Adenoviridae 2022","volume":"103","author":"Benko","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
