Here we used a metagenomic approach to identify novel circoviruses in the feces of two species of Sonoran felids, the puma and bobcat; although not endangered, knowledge of viral threats facing these species could help prevent future population decline, as well as indicate potential threats to the endangered ocelot and jaguar. Based on the species-demarcation threshold for circoviruses which is 80% genome-wide identity [28] , both of these belong to a new species which we refer to as Sonfela (derived from Sonoran felid associated) circovirus 1. As the viral genomes were derived from scat samples, the circoviruses could have infected the bobcat prey species or the felids themselves or be environmentally derived.	./cache/cord-352619-s2x53grh.txt	./txt/cord-352619-s2x53grh.txt
