Not all viruses in nature are human enemies: a perspective on aquatic virus ecology in Brazil
Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2020 : Viruses cause various diseases in humans through vector-borne (e.g., Zika and dengue fever), airborne (e.g., measles) and water-borne (e.g., hepatitis) transmission, as well as direct physical contact (e.g., AIDS and herpes).

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]
, 2017 Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

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 ...

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.

The Association between Virus Prevalence and Intercolonial Aggression Levels in the Yellow Crazy Ant, Anoplolepis Gracilipes (Jerdon). [PDF]
, 2019 The recent discovery of multiple viruses in ants, along with the widespread infection of their hosts across geographic ranges, provides an excellent opportunity to test whether viral prevalence in the field is associated with the complexity of social ...

Inferring phage–bacteria infection networks from time-series data [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 In communities with bacterial viruses (phage) and bacteria, the phage–bacteria infection network establishes which virus types infect which host types. The structure of the infection network is a key element in understanding community dynamics. Yet, this

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 “
