Virome characterization and identification of a putative parvovirus and poxvirus in bat ectoparasites of Yunnan Province, China [PDF]

One Health, 2023
Ectoparasites found on bats are known to contain important microbes. However, the viruses hosted by these obligate parasites are understudied. This has led to the near oversight of the potential role of these ectoparasites in virus maintenance and ...

Integrative structural interactomics reveals protein organization and structure in a giant virus [PDF]

Giant viruses are large DNA viruses that infect unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes and form exceptionally large extracellular particles. (Meta)genomics and (meta)transcriptomics have provided insight into their diverse coding repertoire, but many ...

Presence of CRISPR CAS-Like Sequences as a Proposed Mechanism for Horizontal Genetic Exchanges between Trichomonas vaginalis and Its Associated Virus: A Comparative Genomic Analysis with the First Report of a Putative CRISPR CAS Structures in Eukaryotic Cells. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int, 2023
Introduction. Trichomonas vaginalis genome is among the largest genome size and coding capacities. Combinations of gene duplications, transposon, repeated sequences, and lateral gene transfers (LGTs) have contributed to the unexpected large genomic size and diversity. This study is aimed at investigating genomic exchange and seeking for presence of the

A rapid genome‐wide analysis of isolated giant viruses using MinION sequencing

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 11, Page 2621-2635, November 2023., 2023
We evaluated performance of MinION sequencing for giant virus genomics. Re‐sequencing of a prototype marseillevirus by MinION alone provided high‐quality genomes. As a proof of concept, we sequenced genomes of newly isolated giant viruses. Collectively, we concluded that MinION sequencing is an effective approach to rapidly perform a genome‐wide ...

Multiple infections of zoonotic pathogens in wild Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2201-2211, September 2023., 2023
Our research revealed the viral and bacterial diversity in wild Brandt's voles. The characterization and distinctive lineage of some rodent‐specific viruses (Cytomegalovirus, PestVs and Lentiviruses) and rodent‐borne bacteria (Leptospira interrogans and Vibrio cholerae) indicates that wild Brandt's voles may harbor a diversity of viruses and bacteria ...

The seminal plasma microbiome of men with testicular germ cell tumours described by small RNA sequencing

Andrology, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 756-769, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Background It has been estimated that microorganisms are involved in the pathogenesis of approximately 20% of all cancers. Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common type of malignancy in young men and arise from the precursor cell, germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS).

Tracing the Origin of Genotype II African Swine Fever Virus in China by Genomic Epidemiology Analysis

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The pandemic spread of African swine fever (ASF) has caused serious effects on the global pig industry. Virus genome sequencing and genomic epidemiology analysis play an important role in tracking the outbreaks of the disease and tracing the transmission of the virus.

A comparative study of flow cytometry‐sorted communities and shotgun viral metagenomics in a Singapore municipal wastewater treatment plant

iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2022., 2022
This study elucidates the practical protocol of applying fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) and metagenomics on DNA and RNA viromes. This is the first systematic analysis of viral metagenomics in a municipal wastewater treatment plant with the Modified Ludzack–Ettinger (MLE) process.

Removal of large viruses and their dispersal through fecal pellets of the appendicularian Oikopleura dioica during Emiliania huxleyi bloom conditions

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 66, Issue 11, Page 3963-3975, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Despite their importance in shaping the structure and function of marine microbial food webs, little is known about factors regulating marine virus abundance. Previous work demonstrated clearance of laboratory‐cultured Emiliania huxleyi virus by the appendicularian Oikopleura dioica; however, the applicability of this interaction to natural ...
