Respiratory syncytial virus: a sleeping giant? [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2007 The study by Jansen et al. 1 in the present issue of the European Respiratory Journal focuses on the impact of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) on mortality and hospital admissions. As in many other similar publications, it emphasises the significance of RSV (and influenza) in all age groups and not just children, in whom the impact is ...

Hidden diversity of soil giant viruses
Nature Communications, 2018 Current knowledge of giant virus diversity is largely based on samples from aquatic environments. Here the authors employ cultivation-independent metagenomics and mini-metagenomics on forest soil and identify 16 novel giant virus genomes, some of which ...

Past and present giant viruses diversity explored through permafrost metagenomics
Nature Communications, 2022 Although giant viruses are abundant in aquatic environments, less is known about giant viruses in soil. Here, the authors use permafrost metagenomics to reveal giant virus diversity and heterogeneity, as well as gene transfers between viruses from ...

Spatial multi-criteria decision analysis to predict suitability for African swine fever endemicity in Africa [PDF]
, 2014 Background African swine fever (ASF) is endemic in several countries of Africa and may pose a risk to all pig producing areas on the continent. Official ASF reporting is often rare and there remains limited awareness of the continent-wide distribution ...

Human papilloma virus-16 causing giant condyloma acuminata [PDF]
Journal of Surgical Case Reports, 2014 A 28-year-old multiparous lady presented to the Gynaecology outpatient department with a 12 × 5 cm warty growth in the vulva. A biopsy of the growth revealed condyloma acuminata of the vulva. Simple vulvectomy was done. A PCR of the specimen detected the presence of human papilloma virus (HPV)-16 which is usually considered as a high-risk HPV type for ...

MG-Digger: an automated pipeline to search for giant virus-related sequences in metagenomes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The number of metagenomic studies conducted each year is growing dramatically. Storage and analysis of such big data is difficult and time-consuming. Interestingly, analysis shows that environmental and human metagenomes include a significant amount of ...
