Viruses have been infecting their host cells since the dawn of life, and this extremely long-
term coevolution gave rise to some surprising consequences for the entire tree of life. It is …

Abstract Background The Old World insectivorous bat genus Rhinolophus is highly
speciose. Over the last 15 years, the number of its recognized species has grown from 77 to …

Rodents are important reservoirs of numerous viruses, some of which have significant
impacts on public health. Ecosystem disturbances and decreased host species richness …

The number of identified human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) has increased steadily over the
last decade. Some of the novel HPyVs have been shown to cause disease in …

Bats are natural hosts of multiple viruses, many of which have clear zoonotic potential. The
search for emerging viruses has been aided by the implementation of metagenomic tools …

As the phylogenetic organization of mammalian polyomaviruses is complex and currently
incompletely resolved, we aimed at a deeper insight into their evolution by identifying …

Asymptomatic infections with polyomaviruses in humans are common, but these small
viruses can cause severe diseases in immunocompromised hosts. New Jersey …

Polyomaviruses (PyVs) are small DNA viruses carried by diverse vertebrates. The
evolutionary relationships of viruses and hosts remain largely unclear due to very limited …

Polyomaviruses (PyVs) are known to infect a diverse range of vertebrate host species. We
report the discovery of PyVs in vesper bats (family Vespertilionidae) from sampling in …

Polyomaviruses (PyVs) are small, circular dsDNA viruses carried by diverse vertebrates,
including bats. Although previous studies have reported several horseshoe bat PyVs …
