First Detection and Characterization of <i>Smacovirus</i> in the Human Vagina in Two Sequential Samples over a Twelve-Day Interval. [PDF]

Viruses
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]

Virol J
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]

Virus Res
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.

Strand-Specific Patterns of Codon Usage Bias Across Cressdnaviricota

Frontiers in Virology, 2022
The rapidly expanding phylum Cressdnaviricota contains circular, Rep-encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA viruses that are organized within seven established families, but many CRESS DNA virus sequences are not taxonomically defined. We hypothesized that

Diversity of CRESS DNA Viruses in Squamates Recapitulates Hosts Dietary and Environmental Sources of Exposure

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Replication-associated protein (Rep)-encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA viruses comprise viruses with covalently closed, circular, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genomes, and are considered the smallest known autonomously replicating, capsid-encoding ...

Virus discovery in all three major lineages of terrestrial arthropods highlights the diversity of single-stranded DNA viruses associated with invertebrates [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Viruses encoding a replication-associated protein (Rep) within a covalently closed, single-stranded (ss)DNA genome are among the smallest viruses known to infect eukaryotic organisms, including economically valuable agricultural crops and livestock ...

Highly Sensitive Virome Characterization of Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens Complex from Central Europe and the Caribbean Reveals Potential for Interspecies Viral Transmission

Pathogens, 2020
Mosquitoes are the most important vectors for arthropod-borne viral diseases. Mixed viral infections of mosquitoes allow genetic recombination or reassortment of diverse viruses, turning mosquitoes into potential virologic mixing bowls. In this study, we
