One continuous companion and one of the major players in the human blood virome are
members of the Anelloviridae family. Anelloviruses are probably found in all humans …

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

Apoptin, a small protein from chicken anemia virus, has attracted great attention, because it
specifically kills tumor cells while leaving normal cells unharmed. The subcellular …

Novel circular ssDNA genomes have recently been detected in animals and in the
environment using metagenomic and high-throughput sequencing approaches. In this study …

We describe here the metagenomics-derived viral sequences detected in beef, pork, and
chicken purchased from stores in San Francisco. In beef we detected four previously …

Porcine Torque teno virus (PTTV) was recently shown to partially contribute to the
experimental induction of porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome and postweaning …

The Gyrovirus genus consists of nonenveloped, icosahedral viruses with small circular
single-stranded DNA genomes. Gyroviruses have been detected in diverse hosts, including …

The development of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies and metagenomics
protocols deeply impacted the discovery of viral diversity. Moreover, the characterization of …

Gyroviruses (GyVs) are small, single-stranded, circular DNA viruses in the genus Gyrovirus,
which consists of the chicken anemia virus (CAV) prototype and nine other viral species …

The negative samples of a collection, established originally for seeking new adeno-and
herpesviruses in lower vertebrates, were screened for the pres-ence of circoviruses by a …
