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 …

Picobirnaviruses (PBVs) are bisegmented double-stranded RNA viruses that have been
detected in a wide variety of animal species including invertebrates and in environmental …

Abstract The advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has vastly increased our ability
to discover novel viruses and to systematically define the spectrum of viruses present in a …

Most human emerging infectious diseases originate from wildlife and bats are a major
reservoir of viruses, a few of which have been highly pathogenic to humans. In some regions …

Metagenomics was used to characterize viral genomes in clinical specimens of horses with
various organ-specific diseases of unknown aetiology. A novel parvovirus as well as a …

The diverse enteric viral communities that infect microbes and the animal host collectively
constitute the gut virome. Although recent advances in sequencing and analysis of …

Diarrhea remains one of the most common causes of deaths in children. A limited number of
studies have investigated the prevalence of enteric pathogens in Cameroon, and as in many …

The study of extracellular DNA viral particles in the ocean is currently one of the most
advanced fields of research in viral metagenomic analysis. However, even though the …

Emerging viral pathogens are a significant concern, with potential consequences for human,
animal and environmental health. Over the past several decades, many novel viruses have …

The emergence of culture-and sequence-independent metagenomic methods has not only
provided great insight into the microbial community structure in a wide range of clinical and …
