SUMMARY Parvovirus B19 (B19V) and human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1), members of the large
Parvoviridae family, are human pathogens responsible for a variety of diseases. For B19V in …

In the last decade, the widespread application of shotgun metagenomics provided extensive
characterization of the bacterial “dark matter” of the gut microbiome, propelling the …

Abstract Studies have demonstrated that~ 60%–80% of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs)
in humans originated from wild life. Bats are natural reservoirs of a large variety of viruses …

Bats have been increasingly gaining attention as potential reservoir hosts of some of the
most virulent viruses known. Numerous review articles summarize bats as potential reservoir …

Parvoviruses are structurally simple viruses with linear single-stranded DNA genomes and
nonenveloped icosahedral capsids. They infect a wide range of animals from insects to …

We genetically characterized seven nearly complete genomes in the protoparvovirus genus
from the feces of children with diarrhea. The viruses, provisionally named cutaviruses …

Next-generation sequencing and metagenomics have revolutionized the discovery of novel
viruses. In recent years, three novel protoparvoviruses have been discovered in fecal …

A novel protoparvovirus species was identified in domestic cats. The virus was distantly
related to the well-known feline (feline panleukopenia virus) and canine (canine parvovirus …

A novel protoparvovirus species, related genetically to human bufaviruses, was identified in
dogs with respiratory signs. The canine bufavirus was distantly related to the well-known …

Bufaviruses (BuV) are members of the Parvoviridae of the Protoparvovirus genus. They are
non-enveloped, T= 1 icosahedral ssDNA viruses isolated from patients exhibiting acute …
