Characterization of a novel amber-reassigned Crassvirales genus infecting Segatella copri from Egypt
These data establish that this phage constitutes a novel species within a newly proposed genus inside the family Darmviridae, expanding the known geographic distribution of crAss-like phages, highlight translational versatility among Segatella-infecting viruses, and emphasize the importance of expanding virome cohorts to underrepresented regions.
