Onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy: an explorative case-control study with viral metagenomic analyses on Onchocerca volvulus [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2023
Background A high prevalence of onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy (OAE) has been observed in onchocerciasis-endemic areas with high ongoing Onchocerca volvulus transmission. However, the pathogenesis of OAE remains to be elucidated.

Characterizing Enterotypes in Human Metagenomics: A Viral Perspective [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The diversity and high genomic mutation rates of viral species hinder our understanding of viruses and their contributions to human health. Viral enterotypes as a description of the gut virome, its characteristics have not been thoroughly studied. Here we investigated the human gut virome composition using previously published sequencing data of 2,690 ...

African army ants at the forefront of virome surveillance in a remote tropical forest

Peer Community Journal, 2023
In this study, we used a predator-enabled metagenomics strategy to sample the virome of a remote and difficult-to-access densely forested African tropical region.

Characteristics of Wetting-Induced Bacteriophage Blooms in Biological Soil Crust. [PDF]

, 2019
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are photosynthetic "hot spots" in deserts and cover ∼12% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, and yet they face an uncertain future given expected shifts in rainfall events.

Metagenomic identification of viral sequences in laboratory reagents [PDF]

Viruses, 2021
2.AbstractMetagenomic next-generation sequencing has transformed the discovery and diagnosis of infectious disease, with the power to characterize the complete ‘infectome’ (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites) of an individual host organism. However, the identification of novel pathogens has been complicated by widespread microbial contamination in ...

454-Pyrosequencing: A Molecular Battiscope for Freshwater Viral Ecology [PDF]

, 2010
Viruses, the most abundant biological entities on the planet, are capable of infecting organisms from all three branches of life, although the majority infect bacteria where the greatest degree of cellular diversity lies.

Viral metagenomics and blood safety

Transfusion Clinique et Biologique, 2016
The characterization of the human blood-associated viral community (also called blood virome) is essential for epidemiological surveillance and to anticipate new potential threats for blood transfusion safety. Currently, the risk of blood-borne agent transmission of well-known viruses (HBV, HCV, HIV and HTLV) can be considered as under control in high ...

Deciphering the Human Virome with Single-Virus Genomics and Metagenomics

Viruses, 2018
Single-cell genomics has unveiled the metabolic potential of dominant microbes inhabiting different environments, including the human body. The lack of genomic information for predominant microbes of the human body, such as bacteriophages, hinders our ...
