Pet store rats as a platform for cross-species transmission of viruses. (A) Model of rat-to-mouse transmission setup. (B) Normalized RNAseq reads for Astroviridae (left) and Picornaviridae (right) found in rat and mouse small intestine. (C) Relative frequency of rat astrovirus de novo variants present in mice but not rats. Rat astrovirus RdRP amplicons were generated from rat and mouse small intestine to identify SNVs. Data are representative of one experiment. Genome positions are relative to a de novo assembled rat astrovirus contig.
