The influence of bat ecology on viral diversity and reservoir status

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Repeated emergence of zoonotic viruses from bat reservoirs into human populations demands predictive approaches to preemptively identify virus‐carrying bat species.

BK polyomavirus diversity—Why viral variation matters

open access: yesReviews in Medical Virology, 2020
SummaryBK polyomavirus (BKPyV or BKV) is a non‐enveloped, circular double‐stranded DNA virus that may exceed 80% seroprevalence in adults. BKV infection typically occurs during childhood, and the majority of adults are latently infected. While BKV infection is rarely associated with clinical disease in most individuals, in immunosuppressed individuals,

Viral Metagenomics Reveals Widely Diverse Viral Community of Freshwater Amazonian Lake

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2022
Despite the importance of understanding the ecology of freshwater viruses, there are not many studies on the subject compared to marine viruses. The microbiological interactions in these environments are still poorly known, especially between bacteriophages and their host bacteria and between cyanophages and cyanobacteria.

Reproducibly sampling SARS-CoV-2 genomes across time, geography, and viral diversity.

open access: yesF1000Research, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a rapid accumulation of SARS-CoV-2 genomes, enabling genomic epidemiology on local and global scales. Collections of genomes from resources such as GISAID must be subsampled to enable computationally feasible phylogenetic

Viral Diversity in Autochthonous Croatian Grapevine Cultivars [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Disease, 2017
A survey was conducted on nine autochthonous grapevine cultivars grown along the Croatian coastal region. In total, 48 vines (44 from germplasm collection, 4 from vineyards) originating from 23 sites were tested for 26 viruses using molecular methods. Results revealed high infection rates with Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3); Grapevine

RNA Viruses in Aquatic Ecosystems through the Lens of Ecological Genomics and Transcriptomics

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Massive amounts of data from nucleic acid sequencing have changed our perspective about diversity and dynamics of marine viral communities. Here, we summarize recent metatranscriptomic and metaviromic studies targeting predominantly RNA viral communities.

Non‐invasive surveys of mammalian viruses using environmental DNA

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Environmental DNA (eDNA) and invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) are used to survey biodiversity non‐invasively to mitigate difficulties in obtaining wildlife samples, particularly in remote areas or for rare species. Recently, eDNA/iDNA were used to monitor

Global estimates of mammalian viral diversity accounting for host sharing

open access: yesNature Ecology & Evolution, 2019
Present estimates suggest there are over 1 million virus species found in mammals alone, with about half a million posing a possible threat to human health.

Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 viral diversity within and across hosts

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need to accurately infer the evolutionary and transmission history of the virus to inform real-time outbreak management, public health policies and mitigation strategies.
