Accurate analyses of the diets of predators are key to understand trophic interactions and
defining conservation strategies. Diets are commonly assessed through analysis of non …

Metagenomic Next Generation Sequencing (mNGS) allows the evaluation of complex
microbial communities, avoiding isolation and cultivation of each microbial species, and …

Abstract The family Genomoviridae (phylum Cressdnaviricota, class Repensiviricetes, order
Geplafuvirales) includes viruses with circular single-stranded DNA genomes encoding two …

Paramyxoviruses, negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses, pose a critical threat to
human public health. Currently, 78 species, 17 genera, and 4 subfamilies of …

We present an optimised metagenomics method for detection and characterisation of all
virus types including single and double stranded DNA/RNA and enveloped and non …

The Brazilian Cerrado fauna shows very wide diversity and can be a potential viral reservoir.
Therefore, the animal's susceptibility to some virus can serve as early warning signs of …

Domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) live with humans, frequently contact other animals
and may serve as intermediary hosts for the transmission of viruses. Free-roaming dogs …

Companion animals such as cats and dogs harbor diverse microbial communities that can
potentially impact human health due to close and frequent contact. To better characterize …

Viruses encoding a replication-associated protein (Rep) within a covalently closed, single-
stranded (ss) DNA genome are among the smallest viruses known to infect eukaryotic …

Bats host diverse viruses due to their unique ecology, behavior, and immunology. However,
the role of other organisms with which bats interact in nature is understudied as a contributor …
