Origins of Human Virus Diversity [PDF]

Cell, 2002
The diverse consequences of different viral infections on the human population reflect both the history of their origins and the nature of their ongoing evolution. Advances in the ease of finding and characterizing viral genome sequences are having a major impact on our understanding of the diversity of human viruses and of their relatives infecting ...

Relatives of rubella virus in diverse mammals

Nature, 2020
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Since 1814, when rubella was first described, the origins of the disease and its causative agent, rubella virus (Matonaviridae: Rubivirus), have remained unclear1. Here we describe ruhugu virus and rustrela virus in Africa and Europe, respectively, which are, to our knowledge, the first known relatives

Genomic Analysis and Taxonomic Characterization of Seven Bacteriophage Genomes Metagenomic-Assembled from the Dishui Lake

Viruses, 2023
Viruses in aquatic ecosystems exhibit remarkable abundance and diversity. However, scattered studies have been conducted to mine uncultured viruses and identify them taxonomically in lake water.

Unmapped RNA Virus Diversity in Termites and their Symbionts. [PDF]

Viruses, 2020
Despite their ecological importance, nothing is known about the diversity and abundance of RNA viruses in termites (Termitoidae). We used a metatranscriptomics approach to determine the RNA virome structure of 50 diverse species of termite that differ in both phylogenetic position and colony composition.

JC virus evolution and its association with human populations [PDF]

, 2006
The ubiquitous human polyomavirus JC (JCV) is a small double-stranded DNA virus that establishes a persistent infection, and it is often transmitted from parents to children.

Identifying Hendra Virus Diversity in Pteropid Bats [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Hendra virus (HeV) causes a zoonotic disease with high mortality that is transmitted to humans from bats of the genus Pteropus (flying foxes) via an intermediary equine host. Factors promoting spillover from bats to horses are uncertain at this time, but plausibly encompass host and/or agent and/or environmental factors. There is a lack of HeV sequence

Error correction and diversity analysis of population mixtures determined by NGS [PDF]

, 2014
The impetus for this work was the need to analyse nucleotide diversity in a viral mix taken from honeybees; the methods are illustrated using honeybee viral samples. The paper has two findings. First, a method for correction of next generation sequencing
