Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-03252-9, published online 31 May 2025

The original version of this Article contained an error in the order of the Figures. Figure 3 was published as figure 2, figure 4 was published as figure 3, and figure 2 was published as figure 4. As a result, the Figure legends were incorrect.

The original Figures 2, 3 and 4 and accompanying legends appear below.

The original Article has been corrected.

Fig. 2

(a) Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree using the GTR + G substitution model, inferred of complete genomic sequences of members of Gammacoronavirus genus either obtained in this study or acquired from GenBank database. All sequences are labeled with accession number, host, country of origin and year of sampling, if available. IBV sequences are additionally labeled with strain name. The label of the sequence obtained from a pigeon within the framework of this study is written in bold and in turquoise color, while the labels of the sequences originating from other avian species are written in blue color. The tree has been rooted with the sequence of a member of Deltacoronavirus genus acquired from a pigeon and its label is written in pink. (b) Pairwise identity matrix composed of the same complete genomic sequences as in the phylogenetic tree.

(a) Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree using the LG + G substitution model, inferred of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase sequences of 167 amino-acids in length. The sequences used are those of members of Gammacoronavirus genus either obtained in this study or acquired from GenBank database. All sequences are labeled with accession number, host, country of origin and year of sampling, if available. IBV sequences are additionally labeled with strain name. The labels of the sequences originating from pigeons are written in turquoise color, while the labels of the sequences originating from other avian species are written in blue color. The label of the sequence obtained within the framework of this study is additionally written in bold. The tree has been rooted with gammacoronavirus sequence acquired from a beluga whale and its label is written in red. (b) Pairwise identity matrix composed of the same amino-acid sequences as in the phylogenetic tree.
