A novel birnavirus identified as the causative agent of summer atrophy of pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata (Gould)) [PDF]
The Akoya pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata (Gould)) is the most important species for pearl cultivation in Japan. Mass mortality of 0-year-old juvenile oysters and anomalies in adults, known as summer atrophy, have been observed in major pearl farming areas

Global genomic diversity of a major wildlife pathogen: Ranavirus, past and present [PDF]
Ranavirus is a genus of large double-stranded DNA viruses (family Iridoviridae) that parasitise three taxonomic classes of poikilothermic vertebrates. They are important wildlife pathogens of conservation and economic concern, posing significant threat ...

Nucleocytoviricota viral factories are transient organelles made by liquid-liquid phase separation
Phase separation is a widespread mechanism in viral processes, mediating replication, host manipulation and virion morphogenesis. The phylumNucleocytoviricotaencompasses diverse and ubiquitous viruses, includingPoxviridae,the climate-modulatingEmiliania huxleyivirus and other so-called Giant Viruses.

DNA methylation enables recurrent endogenization of giant viruses in an animal relative. [PDF]
5-Methylcytosine (5mC) is a widespread silencing mechanism that controls genomic parasites. In eukaryotes, 5mC has gained complex roles in gene regulation beyond parasite control, yet 5mC has also been lost in many lineages.

Metagenomic investigation of viruses in green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) [PDF]
Green sea turtles are listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species. Thus, conservation efforts, including investigation of factors affecting the health of green sea turtles, are critical. Viral communities

A giant virus infecting the amoeboflagellate Naegleria
Giant viruses (Nucleocytoviricota) are significant lethality agents of various eukaryotic hosts. Although metagenomics indicates their ubiquitous distribution, available giant virus isolates are restricted to a very small number of protist and algal ...
