Metavirome Insights into the Diversity and Potential Pathogenic Infection of Chlamys farreri in the Coastal Seas of the Republic of Korea [PDF]
PathogensChlamys farreri is primarily cultivated in Japan, China, and South Korea. Although mass mortality of scallops has been occurring recently, likely caused by high temperatures or infectious diseases, the underlying cause remains unclear.

Diversity and environmental control of Prasinoviruses (Phycodnaviridae)
, 2016 Viruses are the most abundant biological entities in oceans and they every member of the marine biosphere is affected by them, they influence the composition of communities and influence biogeochemical cycles. However, the influence of environmental conditions on complex viral populations is still poorly understood.

Viral Diversity of Coastal Restinga Soils From Southern Brazil. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepThis study revealed high viral diversity in Restinga soils of southern Brazil, identifying over 6000 species (half unclassified) across 261 families. Dominant families included Mimiviridae, Phycodnaviridae, Peduoviridae and Kyanoviridae. While diversity was consistent among sites, urbanization and landscape isolation influenced viral richness and ...

Taxonomic, functional and expression analysis of viral communities associated with marine sponges [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Viruses play an essential role in shaping the structure and function of ecological communities. Marine sponges have the capacity to filter large volumes of ‘virus-laden’ seawater through their bodies and host dense communities of microbial symbionts ...

Detection of inteins among diverse DNA polymerase genes of uncultivated members of the Phycodnaviridae [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2008 Abstract Viruses in the family Phycodnaviridae infect autotrophic protists in aquatic environments. Application of a PCR assay targeting the DNA polymerase of viruses in this family has revealed that phycodnaviruses are quite diverse and appear to be widespread, but a limited number of environments have been examined so far.
