The amino acid identity was calculated using a selection of sequences of 68 mammalian AstVs, without removing the gaps and with no distance correction, using the software Bioedit version 7.0.9.0 (8). The p-distance was calculated using the same sequence alignment, with MEGA package version 4.0 (15).
