A Tale of Two Seasons: Distinct Seasonal Viral Communities in a Thermokarst Lake
Microorganisms, 2023 Thermokarst lakes are important features of subarctic landscapes and are a substantial source of greenhouse gases, although the extent of gas produced varies seasonally. Microbial communities are responsible for the production of methane and CO2 but the “

The influence of bat ecology on viral diversity and reservoir status [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 AbstractRepeated emergence of zoonotic viruses from bat reservoirs into human populations demands predictive approaches to preemptively identify virus‐carrying bat species. Here, we use machine learning to examine drivers of viral diversity in bats, determine whether those drivers depend on viral genome type, and predict undetected viral carriers.

Virological surveillance of bats in Southern Kazakhstan
Frontiers in VirologyBats are known as an important natural reservoir of many viral infections, from which transmission into the human population occurs. This article aimed to examine bats in Kazakhstan for possible circulation of viruses dangerous to humans and other ...

Viral metagenomic survey of Caspian seals
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceIntroductionViral diseases of pinnipeds cause substantial mortality and morbidity and can influence population demography. Viral metagenomic studies can therefore play an important role in pinniped health assessments and disease surveillance relevant to ...

CRISPR Spacers Indicate Preferential Matching of Specific Virioplankton Genes
mBio, 2019 Viral infection exerts selection pressure on marine microbes, as virus-induced cell lysis causes 20 to 50% of cell mortality, resulting in fluxes of biomass into oceanic dissolved organic matter.

Bats and birds as viral reservoirs: A physiological and ecological perspective
Science of The Total Environment, 2021 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The birds (class Aves) and bats (order Chiroptera, class Mammalia) are well known natural reservoirs of a diverse range of viruses, including some zoonoses. The only extant volant vertebrates, bats and birds have undergone dramatic adaptive radiations that have allowed them to occupy diverse ecological

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...
