A Decade of Improvements in Mimiviridae and Marseilleviridae Isolation from Amoeba [PDF]

Intervirology, 2013
Since the isolation of the first giant virus, the Mimivirus, by T.J. Rowbotham in a cooling tower in Bradford, UK, and after its characterisation by our group in 2003, we have continued to develop novel strategies to isolate additional strains. By first focusing on cooling towers using our original time-consuming procedure, we were able to isolate a ...

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.

The 4.4 Å structure of the giant Melbournevirus virion belonging to the Marseilleviridae family [PDF]

, 2021
Summary Members of Marseilleviridae , one family of icosahedral giant viruses classified in 2012 have been identified worldwide in all types of environments. The virion shows a characteristic internal membrane extrusion at the five-fold vertices of the capsid, but its structural ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Cervicovaginal Human Papillomavirus Genomes, Microbiota Composition and Cytokine Concentrations in South African Adolescents

Viruses, 2023
The interaction between cervicovaginal virome, bacteriome and genital inflammation has not been extensively investigated. We assessed the vaginal DNA virome from 33 South African adolescents (15–19 years old) using shotgun DNA sequencing of purified ...

One Year Genome Evolution of Lausannevirus in Allopatric versus Sympatric Conditions. [PDF]

, 2017
Amoeba-resisting microorganisms raised a great interest during the last decade. Among them, some large DNA viruses present huge genomes up to 2.5 Mb long, exceeding the size of small bacterial genomes.
