In this case study, we used a metagenomic approach to identify associated viruses and helminth species from a deceased bobcat. We determined the full mitochondrial genome of the bobcat and three helminths, i.e., tapeworm (Taenia sp.), stomach worm (Physaloptera sp.), and lung worm (Metathelazia sp.). Furthermore, we identified four circovirids; two (identified in a tapeworm and fecal swab) are members of the genus Circovirus and share 96.7% genome-wide identity between isolates and 87.4\u201388.6% identity with members of the species Circovirus\u00a0miztontli. These appear to infect vertebrate species common to the Sonoran Desert, which could be a rodent preyed upon by the bobcat, and\/or bobcat itself. The other two circovirids are novel members of the genus Cyclovirus (both identified in a tapeworm), one sharing 99.8% with those in the species Cyclovirus\u00a0misi from a rodent and the other &lt;67.3% with all other Cycloviruses. Our data support that these two Cycloviruses are likely tapeworm-infecting; however, more studies are needed to confirm the host. These findings enhance our understanding of viruses and helminths in bobcats, emphasizing the need for further research to unravel the ecology of parasites in these elusive predators.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v17060745","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,23]],"date-time":"2025-05-23T06:35:09Z","timestamp":1747982109000},"page":"745","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Three Distinct Circovirids Identified in a Tapeworm Recovered from a Bobcat (Lynx\u00a0rufus)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-9357-9785","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayla","family":"\u017du\u0161tra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biodesign Center for Fundamental and Applied Microbiomics, School of Life Sciences, Center for Evolution and Medicine, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"April","family":"Howard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arizona Game and Fish Department, 5000 W.
