Does Viral Diversity Matter?

Science, 2009
Detailed analyses of population demographics and viral diversity should help predict the impact of childhood vaccination for endemic viruses such as rotavirus.

Probing of viral diversity by global haplotype prediction

2013 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Computational Advances in Bio and medical Sciences (ICCABS), 2013
The focus in clinical virology shifts from well-established identification of single nucleotide variants (SNV) to probing of individual viral RNA strains, called haplotypes. The success of antiretroviral treatment of HIV infection heavily depends on the knowledge of an intra-patient's viral population heterogeneity, because diversity and in particular,

Viral glycoprotein heterogeneity-enhancement of functional diversity

Glycoconjugate Journal, 1992
Variations in the amino acid sequence of RNA virus envelope glycoproteins can cause changes in their antigenicity and can alter the host-cell tropism of the virus and the degree of virulence which it exhibits. Such changes may alter the course and outcome of viral diseases, either directly because of changes in the biological properties of the ...

Viral diversity in synanthropic birds of Southwestern Siberia

Archives of Virology
Infectious diseases in birds represent a significant threat to poultry economies, wild bird biodiversity, and public health, underscoring the importance of surveillance within a One Health framework. Synanthropic birds, which live in close proximity to humans and domestic animals, can act as crucial bridge hosts for viral transmission between wild and ...

Environmental microbiology: Viral diversity on the global stage

Nature Microbiology, 2016
Viruses, once thought of only as purveyors of disease, take centre stage, from the human microbiome to the oceans, as archives of global diversity and drivers of biogeochemical cycles.

Vaccines and viral antigenic diversity.

Revue scientifique et technique (International Office of Epizootics), 2007
Antigenic diversity among ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses occurs as a result of rapid mutation during replication and recombination/reassortment between genetic material of related strains during co-infections. Variants which have a selective advantage in terms of ability to spread or to avoid host immunity become established within populations ...

Viral diversity in the human microbiome

The number of viral particles on Earth outnumber other microbes by an order of magnitude, and the same holds true in the human microbiome. The human-associated virome is typically dominated by phage, which have historically been difficult to identify via either culture or metagenomics.
