Вопросы вирусологии, 2017 Chenuda virus (CNUV) (Orbivirus, Reoviridae) is the only known orbivirus associated with argas (Argasidae) ticks. Scientific study of this group is necessary for understanding of Orbivirus genus evolution patterns.

Viral Ancestors of Antiviral Systems
Viruses, 2011 All life must survive their corresponding viruses. Thus antiviral systems are essential in all living organisms. Remnants of virus derived information are also found in all life forms but have historically been considered mostly as junk DNA.

Evolution and Epidemiology of Chikungunya Virus
, 2016 Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne Alphavirus that is spreading worldwide in the tropical areas and that has a 11.8 kb RNA genome. The most relevant vectors belong to the genus Aedes and contribute to the diffusion of the three different genotypes of the virus from the original site of first identification in East Africa.

Experimental Evolution to Study Virus Emergence [PDF]
Cell, 2017 Understanding how viruses adapt to new environments and acquire new phenotypes is critical for developing comprehensive responses to outbreaks. By studying the emergence of vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks, Stern et al. describe how a combination of sequence analysis and experimental evolution can be used to reveal adaptive pathways.

Genes for Membrane Transport Proteins: Not So Rare in Viruses
Viruses, 2018 Some viruses have genes encoding proteins with membrane transport functions. It is unknown if these types of proteins are rare or are common in viruses.

Neolithic and medieval virus genomes reveal complex evolution of hepatitis B
eLife, 2018 The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the most widespread human pathogens known today, yet its origin and evolutionary history are still unclear and controversial.

Geometry and virus evolution [PDF]
Science, 2015 Influenza An influenza pandemic is only a couple of mutations away. Or is it? Meyer and Wilke analyzed how the hemagglutinin protein of the H3 subtype of influenza has evolved, to learn how mutation allows this virus to escape host immune surveillance.

eLife, 2017 This study defined the genetic epidemiology of dengue viruses (DENV) in two pivotal phase III trials of the tetravalent dengue vaccine, CYD-TDV, and thereby enabled virus genotype-specific estimates of vaccine efficacy (VE).

The evolution of virus–induced apoptosis
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1997 Viruses from several different families are able to exploit their host's cell death programmes so as to maximize viral fitness. Consideration of the evolution of such strategies has lead to the suggestion that the virus should inhibit apoptosis, in order to prolong the life of the cell and thereby maximize the number of progeny virions.

Virology Journal, 2011 Background Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) is considered one of the most dangerous pathogens infecting tomatoes worldwide. The virus is highly diverse and four distinct genotypes, as well as inter-strain recombinants, have already been described.
