SUMMARY Parvovirus B19 (B19V) and human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1), members of the large
Parvoviridae family, are human pathogens responsible for a variety of diseases. For B19V in …

The list of recently discovered gastrointestinal viruses is expanding rapidly. Whether these
agents are actually involved in a disease such as diarrhea is the essential question, yet …

In the last decade, the widespread application of shotgun metagenomics provided extensive
characterization of the bacterial “dark matter” of the gut microbiome, propelling the …

The gut microbiota, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses, compose a diverse
mammalian gut environment and are highly associated with host health. Bacteriophages …

In recent years, there has been ample evidence illustrating the effect of microbiota on gut
immunity, homeostasis, and disease. Most of these studies have engaged more efforts in …

Parvoviruses are structurally simple viruses with linear single-stranded DNA genomes and
nonenveloped icosahedral capsids. They infect a wide range of animals from insects to …

We genetically characterized seven nearly complete genomes in the protoparvovirus genus
from the feces of children with diarrhea. The viruses, provisionally named cutaviruses …

Next-generation sequencing and metagenomics have revolutionized the discovery of novel
viruses. In recent years, three novel protoparvoviruses have been discovered in fecal …

A novel protoparvovirus species, related genetically to human bufaviruses, was identified in
dogs with respiratory signs. The canine bufavirus was distantly related to the well-known …

Background Burkholderia pseudomallei is the cause of melioidosis, a serious and difficult to
treat infection that is endemic throughout the tropics. Melioidosis incidence is highly …
