The diversity of viruses in slurries from dairy farming remains largely uncharacterized. Here we report viral diversity found in cattle slurry from a dairy farm in the East Midlands in the United Kingdom. The same slurry tank was sampled in three consecutive years, and the viral fraction was isolated and sequenced.
Funding
Illumina sequencing was performed at the Warwick Medical School, University of Warwick. Bioinformatic analysis was carried out using MRC CLIMB Infrastructure MR/L015080/1.
This research was supported by teaching funds from the School of Life Sciences, University of Warwick, to A.D.M. J.L.H., S.P.H., and A.D.M. are funded by NERC AMR-EVAL FARMS (NE/N019881/1).
