The Influence of Habitat on Viral Diversity in Neotropical Rodent Hosts
Viruses, 2021 Rodents are important reservoirs of numerous viruses, some of which have significant impacts on public health. Ecosystem disturbances and decreased host species richness have been associated with the emergence of zoonotic diseases.

Prediction and prevention of the next pandemic zoonosis. [PDF]
, 2012 Most pandemics--eg, HIV/AIDS, severe acute respiratory syndrome, pandemic influenza--originate in animals, are caused by viruses, and are driven to emerge by ecological, behavioural, or socioeconomic changes.

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:

Association between living environment and human oral viral ecology. [PDF]
ISME J, 2013 Abstract The human oral cavity has an indigenous microbiota known to include a robust community of viruses. Very little is known about how oral viruses are spread throughout the environment or to which viruses individuals are exposed. We sought to determine whether shared living environment is associated with the composition of human ...

Virus isolation studies suggest short-term variations in abundance in natural cyanophage populations of the Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2006 Cyanophage abundance has been shown to fluctuate over long timescales and with depth, but little is known about how it varies over short timescales. Previous short-term studies have relied on counting total virus numbers and therefore the phages which ...

Record-Breaking Rain Event Altered Estuarine Viral Assemblages
Microorganisms, 2022 Viruses are the dominant biological entity in the ocean, play a vital role in biogeochemical cycles, and provide their hosts with novel metabolic capabilities through auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs). Hurricane Harvey was a category 4 hurricane that made

Spatial expansions and travelling waves of rabies in vampire bats [PDF]
, 2016 A major obstacle to anticipating the cross-species transmission of zoonotic diseases and developing novel strategies for their control is the scarcity of data informing how these pathogens circulate within natural reservoir populations.

Landscape attributes governing local transmission of an endemic zoonosis: rabies virus in domestic dogs [PDF]
, 2018 Landscape heterogeneity plays an important role in disease spread and persistence, but quantifying landscape influences and their scale dependence is challenging.

Ecological and Evolutionary Processes Shaping Viral Genetic Diversity [PDF]
Viruses, 2019 The contemporary genomic diversity of viruses is a result of the continuous and dynamic interaction of past ecological and evolutionary processes. Thus, genome sequences of viruses can be a valuable source of information about these processes. In this review, we first describe the relevant processes shaping viral genomic variation, with a focus on the ...
