Emergence of a Novel CRESS-DNA Virus Associated With Swine Reproductive Failure in China [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging DiseasesThe continuous emergence of circular Rep‐encoding single‐stranded (CRESS) DNA viruses across diverse hosts has been closely associated with the occurrence of severe diseases. Four circoviruses within the genus Circovirus have been identified in pigs, including porcine circovirus Type 1 (PCV1), PCV2, PCV3, PCV4, and PCV5.

Pervasive Chimerism in the Replication-Associated Proteins of Uncultured Single-Stranded DNA Viruses [PDF]
Viruses, 2018 Numerous metagenomic studies have uncovered a remarkable diversity of circular replication-associated protein (Rep)-encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA viruses, the majority of which are uncultured and unclassified. Unlike capsid proteins, the Reps show

Dynamics and Conformations of a Full-Length CRESS-DNA Replicase
Viruses, 2023 Circular Rep-encoding single-stranded DNA (CRESS-DNA) viruses encode for a Replicase (Rep) that is essential for viral replication. Rep is a helicase with three domains: an endonuclease, an oligomeric, and an ATPase domain (ED, OD, and AD).
