Percentage diversity of genome sequences of PARV4-like viruses*†
| Genotype | PARV4-p | PHoV | BHoV | PARV4-g1 | PARV4-g2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PARV4-p | 98–99 | ||||
| PHoV | 97–98 | 98–99 | |||
| BHoV | 62 | 62 | 99 | ||

| PARV4-g2 | 58–59 | 58 | 59–60 | 91–92 | 96–99 |
| PARV4-g3 | 58 | 58 | 60 | 92 | 91–92 |
*PARV4, parvovirus type 4; PARV4-p, porcine PARV-4; PHoV, porcine hokovirus; BHoV, bovine hokovirus; PARV4-g1, PARV4 genotype 1; PARV4-g2, PARV4 genotype 2; PARV4-g3, PARV4 genotype 3.
†Pairwise sequence comparisons were performed by using the ClustalW program (www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/clustalw) as described in Figure 2 and percentages of sequence identities were calculated. Nucleotide sequences representing the equivalent regions (position 248–5088, numbered according to the PARV4 sequence NC_007018) were used to align the DNA fragments.
