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

It is hard to overemphasize the role that metagenomics has had on our recent understanding
of RNA virus diversity. Metagenomics in the 21st century has brought with it an explosion in …

Pangolins are endangered animals in urgent need of protection. Identifying and cataloguing
the viruses carried by pangolins is a logical approach to evaluate the range of potential …

The family Circoviridae contains viruses with covalently closed, circular, single-stranded
DNA (ssDNA) genomes, including the smallest known autonomously replicating, capsid …

Anelloviruses are small negative-sense single-stranded DNA viruses with genomes ranging
in size from 1.6 to 3.9 kb. The family Anelloviridae comprised 14 genera before the present …

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a common health problem for both dairy and beef cattle,
resulting in significant economic loses. In order to identify viruses associated with BRD, we …

Background Wild birds may harbor and transmit viruses that are potentially pathogenic to
humans, domestic animals, and other wildlife. Results Using the viral metagenomic …

Astroviruses are small, non-enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses that
belong to the Astroviridae family. Astroviruses infect diverse hosts and are typically …

Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) is a recently described virus belonging to the family
Circoviridae. It represents the third member of genus Circovirus able to infect swine, together …

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 …
