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

Viruses, 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.

Virus Satellites Drive Viral Evolution and Ecology [PDF]

PLOS Genetics, 2015
Virus satellites are widespread subcellular entities, present both in eukaryotic and in prokaryotic cells. Their modus vivendi involves parasitism of the life cycle of their inducing helper viruses, which assures their transmission to a new host. However, the evolutionary and ecological implications of satellites on helper viruses remain unclear. Here,

Network Analysis of the Papaya Orchard Virome from Two Agroecological Regions of Chiapas, Mexico

mSystems, 2020
The study of complex ecological interactions, such as those among host, pathogen, and vector communities, can help to explain host ranges and the emergence of novel pathogens. We evaluated the viromes of papaya orchards, including weed and insect viromes,

ABC Assay: Method Development and Application to Quantify the Role of Three DWV Master Variants in Overwinter Colony Losses of European Honey Bees

Viruses, 2017
Deformed wing virus (DWV) is one of the most prevalent honey bee viral pathogens in the world. Typical of many RNA viruses, DWV is a quasi-species, which is comprised of a large number of different variants, currently consisting of three master variants:

Metagenomic Analysis of Virus Diversity and Relative Abundance in a Eutrophic Freshwater Harbour

Viruses, 2019
Aquatic viruses have been extensively studied over the past decade, yet fundamental aspects of freshwater virus communities remain poorly described. Our goal was to characterize virus communities captured in the >0.22 µm size-fraction seasonally ...

The Baltic Sea Virome: Diversity and Transcriptional Activity of DNA and RNA Viruses

mSystems, 2017
Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data were generated from size-fractionated samples from 11 sites within the Baltic Sea and adjacent marine waters of Kattegat and freshwater Lake Torneträsk in order to investigate the diversity, distribution, and ...

Temporal Dynamics of Soil Virus and Bacterial Populations in Agricultural and Early Plant Successional Soils

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
As reported in many aquatic environments, recent studies in terrestrial ecosystems implicate a role for viruses in shaping the structure, function, and evolution of prokaryotic soil communities.
