High Prevalence of a Novel Circovirus in the European Hedgehog (<i>Erinaceus europaeus</i>), a Common Species in Decline. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisHedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) declines in western Europe have been associated with the emergence of Hedgehog diphtheric disease (HDD), with a probable multifactorial, yet unidentified etiology. We used metagenomic sequencing of cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) in hedgehog blood to identify possible causes of HDD.

A Novel Coronavirus and a Broad Range of Viruses in Kenyan Cave Bats
Viruses, 2022 Background and Methods: To investigate virus diversity in hot zones of probable pathogen spillover, 54 oral-fecal swabs were processed from five bat species collected from three cave systems in Kenya, using metagenome sequencing.

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

Global Status of Porcine circovirus Type 2 and Its Associated Diseases in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Advances in Virology, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Globally, Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a recognized viral pathogen of great economic value in pig farming. It is the major cause of ravaging postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) and many other disease syndromes generally regarded as Porcine circovirus associated diseases (PCVAD) in Europe.

Single Stranded DNA Viruses Associated with Capybara Faeces Sampled in Brazil
Viruses, 2019 Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), the world’s largest rodents, are distributed throughout South America. These wild herbivores are commonly found near water bodies and are well adapted to rural and urban areas.

Genomic characterization of novel circular ssDNA viruses from insectivorous bats in Southern Brazil.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Circoviruses are highly prevalent porcine and avian pathogens. In recent years, novel circular ssDNA genomes have recently been detected in a variety of fecal and environmental samples using deep sequencing approaches. In this study the identification of

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.As a local breed adapted to the extreme environment of the Tibetan Plateau, Tibetan pigs have not yet been systematically characterized in terms of their gut viral communities. In this study, we applied viral metagenomics to sequence fecal samples from 191 Tibetan pigs (including both healthy and diarrheal individuals) across four farms in Nyingchi ...

Viral diversity and co‐evolutionary dynamics across the ant phylogeny
Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 19, October 2024.Abstract Knowledge of viral biodiversity within insects, particularly within ants, is extremely limited with only a few environmental viruses from invasive ant species identified to date. This study documents and explores the viral communities in ants.

Xenotransplantation, Volume 31, Issue 2, March/April 2024.Abstract Background As sequencing is becoming more broadly available, virus discovery continues. Small DNA viruses contribute to up to 60% of the overall virus load in pigs. Porcine circoviruses (PCVs) are small DNA viruses with a single‐stranded circular genome.
