Viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER), otherwise known as viral nervous necrosis
(VNN), is a major devastating threat for aquatic animals. Betanodaviruses have been …

Recent advancements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology and bioinformatics
tools have revealed a vast array of viral diversity in insects, particularly RNA viruses …

In response to infection, invertebrates process replicating viral RNA genomes into siRNAs of
discrete sizes to guide virus clearance by RNA interference. Here, we show that viral siRNAs …

Bats are hosts to a variety of viruses capable of zoonotic transmissions. Because of
increased contact between bats, humans, and other animal species, the possibility exists for …

Nodaviruses are small bipartite RNA viruses which belong to the family of Nodaviridae. They
are categorized into alpha-nodavirus, which infects insects, and beta-nodavirus, which …

Insects are a reservoir for many known and novel viruses. We discovered an unknown virus,
tentatively named mosinovirus (MoNV), in mosquitoes from a tropical rainforest region in …

Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV) is responsible for the newly emerging
catastrophic disease known as white tail disease (WTD) in M. rosenbergii. The complete …

ABSTRACT RNA interference (RNAi) is a eukaryotic gene-silencing mechanism that
functions in antiviral immunity in diverse organisms. To combat RNAi-mediated immunity …

Wuhan nodavirus (WhNV) is a newly identified member of the Nodaviridae family with a
bipartite genome of positive-sense RNAs. A nonstructural protein encoded by subgenomic …

Drosophila X virus (DXV), the prototype Entomobirnavirus, is a well-studied RNA virus
model. Its origin is unknown, and so is that of the only other entomobirnavirus, Espirito Santo …
