Viruses that cause chronic infection constitute a stable but little-recognized part of our
metagenome: our virome. Ongoing immune responses hold these chronic viruses at bay …

Human torque teno viruses (TTVs) are new, emerging infectious agents, recently assigned
to the family Anelloviridae. The first representative of the genus, torque teno virus (TTV), was …

The early years of life are important for immune development and influence health in
adulthood. Although it has been established that the gut bacterial microbiome is rapidly …

Intestinal microbial communities have profound effects on host physiology. Whereas the
symbiotic contribution of commensal bacteria is well established, the role of eukaryotic …

Anelloviruses are a ubiquitous component of healthy human viromes and remain highly
prevalent after being acquired early in life. The full extent of" anellome" diversity and its …

The bacterial component of the human gut microbiota undergoes a definable program of
postnatal development. Evidence is accumulating that this program is disrupted in children …

Anelloviruses are small, single stranded circular DNA viruses. They are extremely diverse
and have not been associated with any disease so far. Strikingly, these small entities infect …

Abstract Background The Human Microbiome Project (HMP) was undertaken with the goal
of defining microbial communities in and on the bodies of healthy individuals using high …

Few studies have examined the lung virome in health and disease. Outcomes of lung
transplantation are known to be influenced by several recognized respiratory viruses, but …

Advanced sequencing techniques have shown that bacteria are not the only complex and
important microbes in the human intestine. Nonbacterial organisms, particularly the virome …
