Occurrence of diverse circoviruses in wild birds in Hungary [PDF]
Circoviruses (CVs) infect a wide range of avian hosts, including domestic, ornamental and wild birds. The immunosuppressive effect of these viruses could make the host more susceptible to other pathogens.

A SUMO interacting motif in the replication initiator protein of tomato yellow leaf curl virus is required for viral replication [PDF]
Circular Rep-encoding single-stranded (CRESS)-DNA viruses comprise a diverse group of viruses that use rolling-circle replication to copy their genomes. They infect organisms in almost all branches of the eukaryotic tree of life.

Exploring the recombinant evolution and hosts of crucivirus based on novel oyster-associated viruses [PDF]
“Crucivirus” represents a group of viruses with chimeric genomes, significant for viral evolution and recombination studies. Their capsid proteins share homology with the RNA virus tombusvirus, while their replicase-associated proteins are homologous to ...

First Detection and Characterization of Smacovirus in the Human Vagina in Two Sequential Samples over a Twelve-Day Interval [PDF]
Background: Smacovirus is a CRESS-DNA virus identified almost exclusively in transient fecal samples from various vertebrate species. Objective: We evaluated human vaginal samples for the presence and maintenance of Smacovirus.

Structural diversity and conservation among CRESS-DNA bacilladnaviruses revealed through cryo-EM and computational modelling [PDF]
Viruses that infect single-celled algae strongly regulate microalgae growth and community composition through cell lysis, enable nutrient recycling in marine ecosystems, and offer valuable insights into early stages of viral evolution.

Transcriptomic insights into host transcriptional manipulation by ssDNA and ssRNA viruses in the marine planktonic diatom Chaetoceros tenuissimus [PDF]
The marine diatom Chaetoceros tenuissimus coexists in the coastal ocean with two distinct viruses: a circular single-stranded DNA virus and a single-stranded RNA virus.
