Diversity Analysis of Tick-Borne Viruses from Hedgehogs and Hares in Qingdao, China
Tick-borne viruses (TBVs) have attracted increasingly global public health attention. In this study, the viral compositions of five tick species, Haemaphysalis flava, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Dermacentor sinicus, Haemaphysalis longicornis, and ...

Giant virus diversity and host interactions through global metagenomics
Our current knowledge about nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) is largely derived from viral isolates that are co-cultivated with protists and algae.

A Brief History of Giant Viruses’ Studies in Brazilian Biomes
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

How viruses evolve within hosts can dictate infection outcomes; however, reconstructing this process is challenging. We evaluate our multiplexed amplicon approach, PrimalSeq, to demonstrate how virus concentration, sequencing coverage, primer mismatches,

CCT: a coordinate conversion tool for hepatitis B virus
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome has ∼3 200 nucleotides, coding for seven proteins in four overlapping open reading frames (ORFs). Comparison of genomic coordinates between different samples and/or published literature requires manual conversion.

Genetic Diversity among Lassa Virus Strains [PDF]
ABSTRACT The arenavirus Lassa virus causes Lassa fever, a viral hemorrhagic fever that is endemic in the countries of Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea and perhaps elsewhere in West Africa. To determine the degree of genetic diversity among Lassa virus strains, partial nucleoprotein (NP) gene sequences were obtained from 54 strains ...

Genetic Diversity of Toscana Virus
Distribution of Toscana virus (TOSV) is evolving with climate change, and pathogenicity may be higher in nonexposed populations outside areas of current prevalence (Mediterranean Basin). To characterize genetic diversity of TOSV, we determined the coding sequences of isolates from Spain and France.

Host-shift as the cause of emerging infectious diseases: Experimental approaches using Drosophila-virus interactions [PDF]
Host shifts, when a cross-species transmission of a pathogen can lead to successful infections, are the main cause of emerging infectious diseases, such as COVID-19.
