A metagenomics-based survey of the virus diversity in mosquito vectors allows the first detection of Sindbis virus in Burkina Faso

The paper uses metagenomics to survey mosquito vectors in Burkina Faso, detecting Sindbis virus for the first time in the region and identifying a new potential vector species.

Host influence on the eukaryotic virome of sympatric mosquitoes and abundance of diverse viruses with a broad host range.

The paper examines how mosquito species influence virome diversity and abundance, finding that viromes differ mainly by species rather than habitat, with shared viral taxa varying in abundance.

Adaptive evolution in virulence effectors of the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae

This paper investigates the evolutionary forces shaping MAX effector diversity in Pyricularia oryzae, showing positive selection on structural elements and host adaptation through gene loss.

Spatial scale influences taxon conservation in the eukaryotic virome of a mosquito

The paper examines how spatial scale affects taxon conservation in the eukaryotic virome of Culex pipiens mosquitoes across multiple countries, revealing deterministic patterns in virome assembly.

COEVOLUTION WITH SPATIALLY STRUCTURED RICE LANDRACES MAINTAINS MULTIPLE GENERALIST LINEAGES IN THE RICE BLAST PATHOGEN

The paper examines the coevolution between rice landraces and their blast pathogen in China, finding that generalist pathogen lineages coexist with host genetic subdivision.

Ecological Differentiation Among Globally Distributed Lineages of the Rice Blast Fungus Pyricularia oryzae

This study shows that genetic and phenotypic diversity in the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae leads to niche separation and reproductive isolation among its lineages due to environmental conditions and host specialization.
