Recent advances of rotavirus (RV) basic and applied research are reviewed. They consist of
determination of the RV particle structure and functions of structural proteins, classification …

While single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was once thought to be a relatively rare genomic
architecture for viruses, modern metagenomics sequencing has revealed circular ssDNA …

A major limitation for better understanding the role of the human gut virome in health and
disease is the lack of validated methods that allow high throughput virome analysis. To …

Bacteriophages (hence termed phages) are viruses that target bacteria and have long been
considered as potential future treatments against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection …

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important infection in humans in EU/EEA countries, and over
the last 10 years more than 21,000 acute clinical cases with 28 fatalities have been notified …

Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are an important cause of diarrhoeal illness in humans, as well
as in mammalian and avian animal species. Previous sequence analyses indicated that …

The discovery of new or divergent viruses using metagenomics and high-throughput
sequencing has become more commonplace. The preparation of a sample is known to have …

Background The human gut is densely populated with archaea, eukaryotes, bacteria, and
their viruses, such as bacteriophages. Advances in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) as …

Enteric diseases in swine are often caused by different pathogens and thus metagenomics
are a useful tool for diagnostics. The capacities of nanopore sequencing for viral diagnostics …

Bacteriophages are ubiquitous and numerous parasites of bacteria and play a critical
evolutionary role in virtually every ecosystem, yet our understanding of the extent of the …
