In 2017, the order Mononegavirales was expanded by the inclusion of a total of 69 novel
species. Five new rhabdovirus genera and one new nyamivirus genus were established to …

Recent advances in sequencing technologies have transformed the field of virus discovery
and virome analysis. Once mostly confined to the traditional Sanger sequencing based …

As the world continues to react and respond inefficiently to emerging infectious diseases,
such as Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome and the Ebola and Zika viruses, a growing …

The increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance poses one of the greatest challenges to
modern medicine. The collection of all antimicrobial resistance genes carried by various …

Background: Next-generation metagenomic sequencing (NGMS) has opened new frontiers
in microbial discovery but has been clinically characterized in only a few settings. Objective …

Thanks to recent advances in random amplification technologies, metagenomic surveillance
expanded the number of novel, often unclassified viruses within the family Rhabdoviridae …

Next-generation sequencing technologies have significantly facilitated the discovery of
novel viruses, and metagenomic surveillance of arthropods has enabled exploration of the …

Caves house pathogenic microorganisms, some of which are transmitted by blood-sucking
arthropods. In Africa, previous studies identified mosquitoes, sand flies and biting midges as …

Abstract The Bas-Congo virus (BASV) is the first rhabdovirus associated with a human
outbreak of acute hemorrhagic fever. The single-stranded, negative-sense RNA genome of …

Despite recent advances, our knowledge of potential and rare human pathogens is far from
exhaustive. Current molecular diagnostic tools mainly rely on the specific amplification of …
