The number and diversity of viral sequences that are identified in metagenomic data far
exceeds that of experimentally characterized virus isolates. In a recent workshop, a panel of …

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

Although millions of distinct virus species likely exist, only approximately 9000 are
catalogued in GenBank's RefSeq database. We selectively enriched for the genomes of …

Background Recent studies have demonstrated that the human gut is populated by complex,
highly individual and stable communities of viruses, the majority of which are …

Microplastics (MPs) have been considered as a new vector for the long-distance transport of
pathogens in aquatic ecosystems. However, the composition of viral communities attached …

Here, we introduce a new family of eukaryote-infecting single-stranded (ss) DNA viruses that
was created recently by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). The …

Abstract Background The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a vulnerable mammal
herbivore living wild in central China. Viral infections have become a potential threat to the …

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

With the advent of metagenomics approaches, a large diversity of known and unknown
viruses has been identified in various types of environmental, plant, and animal samples …

Malabsorption syndrome (MAS) is an economically important disease of young,
commercially reared broilers, characterized by growth retardation, defective feather …
