Raw Sewage Harbors Diverse Viral Populations [PDF]
mBio, 2011 ABSTRACT At this time, about 3,000 different viruses are recognized, but metagenomic studies suggest that these viruses are a small fraction of the viruses that exist in nature. We have explored viral diversity by deep sequencing nucleic acids obtained from virion populations enriched from raw sewage.

Metagenomic analysis of viral diversity in Portuguese bats. [PDF]
Vet Res CommunAbstract Bats are highly diverse mammals and known reservoirs of numerous zoonotic viruses. Their role in the ecology of emerging infectious diseases continues to be of significant interest. This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of coronaviruses (CoVs) in Portuguese bats and predict the affinity of their ...

Estimating T-cell repertoire diversity: limitations of classical estimators and a new approach [PDF]
, 2015 A highly diverse T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire is a fundamental property of an effective immune system, and is associated with efficient control of viral infections and other pathogens. However, direct measurement of total TCR diversity is impossible.

Norovirus Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity in Leipzig, Germany during 2013–2017
Viruses, 2021 Globally and in all age groups, noroviruses are a main cause of gastroenteritis. To assess their local epidemiology and genetic diversity, stool samples of 7509 inpatients with gastrointestinal complaints from all age groups were analyzed.

Two-year follow-up of macaques developing intermittent control of the human immunodeficiency virus homolog simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac251 in the chronic phase of infection [PDF]
, 2015 Off-therapy control of viremia by HIV-infected individuals has been associated with two likely players: a restricted viral reservoir and an efficient cell-mediated immune response.

Virus and host factors affecting the clinical outcome of bluetongue virus infection [PDF]
, 2014 Bluetongue is a major infectious disease of ruminants caused by bluetongue virus (BTV), an arbovirus transmitted by Culicoides. Here, we assessed virus and host factors influencing the clinical outcome of BTV infection using a single experimental ...

Coping with Viral Diversity in HIV Vaccine Design [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2007 The ability of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to develop high levels of genetic diversity, and thereby acquire mutations to escape immune pressures, contributes to the difficulties in producing a vaccine. Possibly no single HIV-1 sequence can induce sufficiently broad immunity to protect against a wide variety of infectious strains, or ...

Genetic Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Variants in Mexico during the First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Viruses, 2021 During the first year of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Mexico, more than two million people were infected. In this study, we analyzed full genome sequences from 27 February 2020 to 28 February 2021 to characterize the geographical and temporal distribution ...
