DNA viruses and the cellular DNA-damage response
Journal of General Virology, 2012 It is clear that a number of host-cell factors facilitate virus replication and, conversely, a number of other factors possess inherent antiviral activity. Research, particularly over the last decade or so, has revealed that there is a complex inter-relationship between viral infection and the host-cell DNA-damage response and repair pathways. There is

A bead-based multiplex assay for the detection of DNA viruses infecting laboratory rodents. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Association (FELASA) recommends screening of laboratory rodents and biological materials for a broad variety of bacterial agents, viruses, and parasites.

Structural Organization of DNA in Chlorella Viruses
PLoS ONE, 2012 Chlorella viruses have icosahedral capsids with an internal membrane enclosing their large dsDNA genomes and associated proteins. Their genomes are packaged in the particles with a predicted DNA density of ca. 0.2 bp nm(-3). Occasionally infection of an algal cell by an individual particle fails and the viral DNA is dynamically ejected from the capsid.

Assessing the Epidemic Potential of RNA and DNA Viruses
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016 Many new and emerging RNA and DNA viruses are zoonotic or have zoonotic origins in an animal reservoir that is usually mammalian and sometimes avian.

The Intricate Interplay between APOBEC3 Proteins and DNA Tumour Viruses
PathogensAPOBEC3 proteins are cytidine deaminases that play a crucial role in the innate immune response against viruses, including DNA viruses. Their main mechanism for restricting viral replication is the deamination of cytosine to uracil in viral DNA during ...

Viruses, 2018 Viruses have evolved various mechanisms to evade host immunity and ensure efficient viral replication and persistence. Several DNA tumor viruses modulate host DNA methyltransferases for epigenetic dysregulation of immune-related gene expression in host ...

Sensing Viruses by Mechanical Tension of DNA in Responsive Hydrogels
Physical Review X, 2014 The rapid worldwide spread of severe viral infections, often involving novel mutations of viruses, poses major challenges to our health-care systems. This means that tools that can efficiently and specifically diagnose viruses are much needed.

Viruses are a key regulator of the microbial carbon cycle in the deep-sea biosphere
Environmental Science and EcotechnologyThe marine biosphere profoundly influences atmospheric chemistry and climate through its carbon cycle. Viruses, the most abundant and diverse entities in marine ecosystems, significantly shape global carbon dynamics by infecting microbes and altering ...

Metagenomic Identification of Novel Eukaryotic Viruses with Small DNA Genomes in Pheasants
AnimalsA panel of intestinal samples collected from common pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) between 2008 and 2017 was used for metagenomic investigation using an unbiased enrichment protocol and different bioinformatic pipelines.
