Morphological and Genomic Features of the New Klosneuvirinae Isolate Fadolivirus IHUMI-VV54
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Since the discovery of Mimivirus, viruses with large genomes encoding components of the translation machinery and other cellular processes have been described as belonging to the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses. Recently, genome-resolved metagenomics

Development of eNA Sampling for Early Detection of Pathogens in On‐Farm Water Sources
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.We compare four water‐sampling methods for detecting microbial and viral eNA in livestock troughs and show all approaches effectively recover community profiles, supporting flexible, field‐ready surveillance of livestock pathogens. ABSTRACT Early detection of livestock pathogens is critical for mitigating risk and implementing timely control or ...

Pathology of porcine peripheral white blood cells during infection with African swine fever virus [PDF]
, 2012 Background African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative agent of African swine fever (ASF) that is the significant disease of domestic pigs. Several studies showed that ASFV can influence on porcine blood cells in vitro.

A new census of protein tandem repeats and their relationship with intrinsic disorder [PDF]
, 2020 Protein tandem repeats (TRs) are often associated with immunity-related functions and diseases. Since that last census of protein TRs in 1999, the number of curated proteins increased more than seven-fold and new TR prediction methods were published. TRs

Phylogenetic and phyletic studies of informational genes in genomes highlight existence of a 4 domain of life including giant viruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The discovery of Mimivirus, with its very large genome content, made it possible to identify genes common to the three domains of life (Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea) and to generate controversial phylogenomic trees congruent with that of ribosomal genes,

Diversity and Ecological Potentials of Marine Viruses Inhabiting Continental Shelf Seas
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.To the best of the knowledge, this study provides the largest viral genome dataset from a continental shelf sea. It reveals that over half of vOTUs are novel, highlighting the remarkable viral novelty in the eastern continental shelf seas of China (ECSSC).

Importance of amoebae as a tool to isolate amoeba-resisting microorganisms and for their ecology and evolution: the Chlamydia paradigm. [PDF]
, 2014 Free-living amoebae are distributed worldwide and are frequently in contact with humans and animals. As cysts, they can survive in very harsh conditions and resist biocides and most disinfection procedures. Several microorganisms, called amoeba-resisting

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 ...
