Insights Into Phylogeny, Diversity and Functional Potential of Poseidoniales Viruses

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2025.
Our spatio‐temporal metagenomic study of a subtropical estuary successfully identified viruses and their potential hosts. Viral contigs were detected using a consensus approach comprising geNOMAD and VirSorter2. Through virus‐host predictions, we were able to identify, characterise and propose magroviruses and non‐magroviruses associated with ...

Genome and Environmental Activity of a Chrysochromulina parva Virus and Its Virophages

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Some giant viruses are ecological agents that are predicted to be involved in the top-down control of single-celled eukaryotic algae populations in aquatic ecosystems.

Mitigation Strategies for African Swine Fever Virus Biosecurity: From Virus Inactivation to Pig Health

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a major global threat affecting pork production and strengthening biosecurity practices is an urgent priority, especially given the paucity of effective vaccines and antiviral drugs. Mitigation strategies focused on virus inactivation play an important role in controlling ASFV and there is growing recognition ...

Influence of climate on soil viral communities in Australia on a regional scale

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2024.
Abstract Viruses play a crucial role in regulating microbial communities and ecosystem functioning. However, the biogeographic patterns of viruses and their responses to climate factors remain underexplored. In this study, we performed viral size fraction metagenomes on 108 samples collected along a 2600 km transect across Australia, encompassing ...

Identification of hepatotropic viruses from plasma using deep sequencing: a next generation diagnostic tool.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
We conducted an unbiased metagenomics survey using plasma from patients with chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and patients without liver disease (control).

Viral communities in millipede guts: Insights into the diversity and potential role in modulating the microbiome

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2024.
Relative abundance of the metagenome‐assembled viral genomes (bottom arch) identified in the hindgut metagenomes and metatranscriptomes of Epibolus pulchripes and Glomeris connexa. The top arch shows the coverage of each viral phylum mapped to the identified metagenome‐assembled viral genomes in transcripts per million.

Isolation and complete genome sequencing of Mimivirus bombay, a Giant Virus in sewage of Mumbai, India

open access: yesGenomics Data, 2016
We report the isolation and complete genome sequencing of a new Mimiviridae family member, infecting Acanthamoeba castellanii, from sewage in Mumbai, India. The isolated virus has a particle size of about 435 nm and a 1,182,200-bp genome.

A New Family of DNA Viruses Causing Disease in Crustaceans from Diverse Aquatic Biomes

open access: yesmBio, 2020
Panulirus argus virus 1 (PaV1) is the only known virus infecting the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) from the Caribbean Sea. Recently, related viruses, Dikerogammarus haemobaphes virus 1 (DhV1) and Carcinus maenas virus 1 (CmV1), have been ...

Biochemical and structural characterization of an inositol pyrophosphate kinase from a giant virus

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal
Kinases that synthesize inositol phosphates (IPs) and pyrophosphates (PP-IPs) control numerous biological processes in eukaryotic cells. Herein, we extend this cellular signaling repertoire to viruses. We have biochemically and structurally characterized
