Five Challenges in the Field of Viral Diversity and Evolution [PDF]

Frontiers in Virology, 2021
Viral diversity and evolution play a central role in processes such as disease emergence, vaccine failure, drug resistance, and virulence. However, significant challenges remain to better understand and manage these processes.

Measurements of intrahost viral diversity require an unbiased diversity metric. [PDF]

Virus Evolution, 2019
Viruses exist within hosts at large population sizes and are subject to high rates of mutation. As such, viral populations exhibit considerable sequence diversity.

Drivers of Viral Diversity and Sharing in Marine Mammals. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Knowledge of viral infection in marine mammals, a group severely threatened by human activity, is largely limited to the pathology and epidemiology of few endemic viruses. The recent emergence in marine mammals of high‐consequence viruses, such as H5N1 avian influenza and rabies, underscores the importance of understanding ...

Biodiversity and distribution of polar freshwater DNA viruses [PDF]

, 2015
Viruses constitute the most abundant biological entities and a large reservoir of genetic diversity on Earth. Despite the recent surge in their study, our knowledge on their actual biodiversity and distribution remains sparse.

Non-random patterns in viral diversity [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2015
AbstractIt is currently unclear whether changes in viral communities will ever be predictable. Here we investigate whether viral communities in wildlife are inherently structured (inferring predictability) by looking at whether communities are assembled through deterministic (often predictable) or stochastic (not predictable) processes.

The diversity of endogenous viral elements in insects

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2022
We provide an overview of the currently known diversity of viral sequences integrated into insect genomes. Such endogenous viral elements (EVE) have so far been annotated in at least eight insect orders and can be assigned to at least three families of large double-stranded (ds) DNA viruses, at least 22 families of RNA viruses, and three families of ...

Viral sensors: diversity in pathogen recognition [PDF]

Immunological Reviews, 2008
Summary:  Innate sensors of viral infection detect viral products and initiate the signal cascades that lead to the antiviral response. Several proteins have been identified to play a role in this process, mostly members of the Toll‐like receptor and retinoic acid‐inducible gene I‐like receptor families.

Special Issue: “Viral Genetic Diversity”

Viruses, 2022
Some say that small is beautiful, and if beauty could be measured by levels of diversity and complexity, we could definitely say that viruses are beautiful [...]

Error correction and diversity analysis of population mixtures determined by NGS [PDF]

, 2014
The impetus for this work was the need to analyse nucleotide diversity in a viral mix taken from honeybees; the methods are illustrated using honeybee viral samples. The paper has two findings. First, a method for correction of next generation sequencing
