The COVID-19 pandemic has given the study of virus evolution and ecology new relevance.
Although viruses were first identified more than a century ago, we likely know less about …

Global warming and the associated climate changes are predictable. They are enhanced by
burning of fossil fuels and the emission of huge amounts of CO 2 gas which resulted in …

In March 2020, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV)
ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum Negarnaviricota was amended and …

Current knowledge of RNA virus biodiversity is both biased and fragmentary, reflecting a
focus on culturable or disease-causing agents. Here we profile the transcriptomes of over …

Although arthropods are important viral vectors, the biodiversity of arthropod viruses, as well
as the role that arthropods have played in viral origins and evolution, is unclear. Through …

The increasing prevalence and expanding distribution of tick-borne viruses globally have
raised health concerns, but the full repertoire of the tick virome has not been assessed. We …

The accurate classification of viral dark matter–metagenomic sequences that originate from
viruses but do not align to any reference virus sequences–is one of the major obstacles in …

In March 2021, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV)
ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum Negarnaviricota was amended and …

Drosophila melanogaster is a valuable invertebrate model for viral infection and antiviral
immunity, and is a focus for studies of insect-virus coevolution. Here we use a metagenomic …

In recent years, negative-sense RNA virus classification and taxon nomenclature have
undergone considerable transformation. In 2016, the new order Bunyavirales was …
