Abstract
Metagenomic analysis revealed the presence of porcine parvovirus 3 (PPV3) in the pool of the internal organs of a wild boar found dead in Southern Italy. Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete coding sequences showed that the newly detected virus is most closely related to those found also in wild boars in Romania during 2010-2011. Even though the death could not be associated with this virus, PPV3 could have contributed to lowering the host's immunological defences.
