A New Double-Stranded RNA Mycovirus in Cryphonectria naterciae Is Able to Cross the Species Barrier and Is Deleterious to a New Host

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
Cryphonectria is a fungal genus associated with economically significant disease of trees. Herein we characterized a novel double-stranded RNA virus from the fungal species Cryphonectria naterciae, a species unexplored as a virus host.

Diversity Analysis of Tick-Borne Viruses from Hedgehogs and Hares in Qingdao, China

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
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

open access: yesNature, 2020
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

open access: yesViruses, 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

An amplicon-based sequencing framework for accurately measuring intrahost virus diversity using PrimalSeq and iVar

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2018
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

open access: yesSouthern African Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
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]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2000
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

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
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]

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2020
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.

Biological and molecular characterisation of the two Polish Wheat streak mosaic virus isolates and their transmission by wheat curl mites

open access: yesPlant Protection Science, 2021
Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) is a serious and widespread pathogen in the wheat-producing areas in the USA while, in Europe, it has been considered a minor threat to cereal crops.
