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

open access: yes, 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.

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 ...

Diverse Trajectories Drive the Expression of a Giant Virus in the Oomycete Plant Pathogen Phytophthora parasitica

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Giant viruses of amoebas, recently classified in the class Megaviricetes, are a group of viruses that can infect major eukaryotic lineages. We previously identified a set of giant virus sequences in the genome of Phytophthora parasitica, an oomycete and ...

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 ...
