The family Rhabdoviridae consists of mostly enveloped, bullet-shaped or bacilliform viruses
with a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA genome that infect vertebrates, invertebrates or …

Viral pathogens present many challenges to organisms, driving the evolution of a myriad of
antiviral strategies to combat infections. A wide variety of viruses infect invertebrates …

The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is a highly successful invasive species that
transmits a number of human viral diseases, including dengue and Chikungunya fevers …

Background Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) transmitted by mosquito vectors cause
many important emerging or resurging infectious diseases in humans including dengue …

Mitoviruses have small RNA (+) genomes, replicate in mitochondria, and have been shown
to infect only fungi to date. For this report, sequences that appear to represent nearly …

We report the discovery of endogenous viral elements (EVEs) from Hepadnaviridae,
Bornaviridae and Circoviridae in the speckled rattlesnake, Crotalus mitchellii, the first viperid …

Eukaryotic genomes contain virus-derived sequences called endogenous virus elements
(EVEs). The majority of EVEs are related to retroviruses, which integrate into the host …

Metagenomic studies are leading to the discovery of a hidden diversity of RNA viruses.
These new viruses are poorly characterized and new approaches are needed predict the …

Modern genomic sequencing and bioinformatics approaches have detected numerous
examples of DNA sequences derived from DNA and RNA virus genomes integrated into …

Insects are the host and vector of diverse viruses including those that infect vertebrates,
