Profiling of Human Gut Virome with Oxford Nanopore Technology

open access: yesMedicine in Microecology, 2020
Human gut virome play critical roles in maintaining gut microbial composition and functionality, as well as host physiology and immunology. Yet, there are insufficient amount of studies on this topic mainly due to methodological limitations, including ...

A Roadmap to the Human Virome

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2013
Low-cost DNA sequencing has greatly democratized genomics, especially for the typically very small genomes of viruses [1]–[3]. The recent acceleration in human virus discovery by metagenomics indicates that many viruses escaped prior detection due to limitations of preexisting technologies.

A Novel Crustavirus as a Candidate Aetiology of Tail Fan Necrosis in New Zealand Red Rock Lobsters, Jasus edwardsii

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tail fan necrosis (TFN) is a shell disease affecting spiny lobsters' outer integument, with significant implications for the health and commercial viability of red rock lobsters (Jasus edwardsii) in New Zealand. Despite its impact, the potential role of a microbial agent in TFN remains poorly understood.

Metagenomic screening of the sugarcane virome in Florida. [P.36] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Viral metagenomics has revolutionized the way pathologists decipher viral diseases. While the impact of this new approach is still debatable in plant virus diagnostics, viral metagenomics has already produced key advances in viral ecology and has the ...

Evidence for a Role of Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus gallolyticus in the Aetiology of Exudative Cloacitis in the Critically Endangered Kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The kākāpō is a critically endangered flightless parrot which suffers from exudative cloacitis, a debilitating disease resulting in inflammation of the vent margin or cloaca. Despite this disease emerging over 20 years ago, the cause of exudative cloacitis remains elusive.

Review article: the human intestinal virome in health and disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: The human virome consists of animal-cell viruses causing transient infections, bacteriophage (phage) predators of bacteria and archaea, endogenous retroviruses and viruses causing persistent and latent infections. High-throughput, inexpensive,

The Virome in Host Health and Disease [PDF]

open access: yesImmunity, 2015
The mammalian virome includes diverse commensal and pathogenic viruses that evoke a broad range of immune responses from the host. Sustained viral immunomodulation is implicated in a variety of inflammatory diseases, but also confers unexpected benefits to the host. These outcomes of viral infections are often dependent on host genotype.

Bumble Bees and Honey Bees on Islands Harbour Reduced Viral Species Richness, Yet Honey Bee Populations Are Dominated by a Deformed Wing Virus Recombinant

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pollinators harbour diverse RNA viromes that play a vital role in their health. Yet, factors that shape viral communities are often unclear. The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is experiencing a viral epidemic since the emergence of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor (varroa) introduced vector‐borne transmission, which has also been ...

The gut virome: the ‘missing link’ between gut bacteria and host immunity?

open access: yesTherapeutic Advances in Gastroenterology, 2019
The human gut virome includes a diverse collection of viruses that infect our own cells as well as other commensal organisms, directly impacting on our well-being. Despite its predominance, the virome remains one of the least understood components of the
