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

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

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 …

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

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

Cross-species transmission events were commonplace, with numerous cases of host-
switching during the viral evolutionary history, but relatively little evidence for onward …

Anelloviruses are highly prevalent in diverse mammals, including humans, but so far have
not been linked to any disease and are considered to be part of the 'healthy virome'. These …

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 …

The number of viruses circulating in small isolated human populations may be reduced by
viral extinctions and rare introductions. Here we used viral metagenomics to characterize the …

Background Since viral metagenomic approach was applied to discover plant viruses for the
first time in 2006, many plant viruses had been identified from cultivated and non-cultivated …
