Genetic diversity of Nipah virus in Bangladesh [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021 Nipah virus (NiV) infection, often fatal in humans, is primarily transmitted in Bangladesh through the consumption of date palm sap contaminated by Pteropus bats. Person-to-person transmission is also common and increases the concern of large outbreaks.

Hidden Viral Sequences in Public Sequencing Data and Warning for Future Emerging Diseases
mBio, 2021 RNA viruses cause numerous emerging diseases, mostly due to transmission from mammalian and avian reservoirs. Large-scale surveillance of RNA viral infections in these animals is a fundamental step for controlling viral infectious diseases.

Virus movement maintains local virus population diversity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Viruses are the largest reservoir of genetic material on the planet, yet little is known about the population dynamics of any virus within its natural environment. Over a 2-year period, we monitored the diversity of two archaeal viruses found in hot springs within Yellowstone National Park (YNP).

Diverse Functions of Polyamines in Virus Infection [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2020 As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses rely on host cells for the building blocks of progeny viruses. Metabolites such as amino acids, nucleotides, and lipids are central to viral proteins, genomes, and envelopes, and the availability of these molecules can restrict or promote infection.

A Brief History of Giant Viruses’ Studies in Brazilian Biomes
Viruses, 2022 Almost two decades after the isolation of the first amoebal giant viruses, indubitably the discovery of these entities has deeply affected the current scientific knowledge on the virosphere. Much has been uncovered since then: viruses can now acknowledge
