Evolutionary features of new picorna-like viruses in Culex (Melanoconion) mosquitoes

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
In this study, we investigated unclassified picorna-like viruses in Culex (Melanoconion) mosquitoes from São Paulo, Brazil, an area of high mosquito biodiversity and arbovirus activity.

The Prevalence of Viral Pathogens among Bats in Kazakhstan

Viruses, 2022
Bats carry thousands of viruses from 28 different families. To determine the presence of various pathogens in bat populations in Kazakhstan, 1149 samples (393 oropharyngeal swabs, 349 brain samples, 407 guano) were collected.

454-Pyrosequencing: A Molecular Battiscope for Freshwater Viral Ecology

, 2010
Viruses, the most abundant biological entities on the planet, are capable of infecting organisms from all three branches of life, although the majority infect bacteria where the greatest degree of cellular diversity lies.

The influence of viral infection on a plankton ecosystem undergoing nutrient enrichment [PDF]

, 2010
It is increasingly recognised that viruses are a significant active component of oceanic plankton ecosystems. They play an important role in biogeochemical cycles as well as being implicated in observed patterns of species abundance and diversity.

Biodiversity and distribution of polar freshwater DNA viruses

, 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.

Exploring the Genomics of Marnaviridae Family: Identification, Characterization, and Taxonomic Implications

International Journal of Microbiology
In this study, we characterized sequences similar to Marnaviridae obtained from water samples in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Sixteen complete or nearly complete genomes were determined, all of them positive-sense single-stranded RNA, with lengths ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...
