The study profiles the virome of Culex and Aedes mosquitoes in Belgium, finding no abundant core virome and identifying 45 viruses, 28 novel, with species-specific patterns and Wolbachia prevalence.

This study analyzes the microbial community shifts in HS lesions compared to healthy skin, identifying bacterial imbalances and opportunistic pathogens associated with disease progression.

This study identifies distinct viral communities in HS patients compared to controls, highlighting differences in phage composition and potential roles in disease progression.

The study assesses vector competence of Belgian Culex mosquitoes for West Nile and Usutu viruses, finding Culex pipiens pipiens transmits WNV but not USUV, while Culex modestus transmits USUV but not WNV, with Wolbachia presence species-specific.

This study evaluates the impact of HIV infection and INSTIs-based treatment on gut virome composition, finding that INSTIs partially restore gut dysbiosis at both bacterial and viral levels.

The paper investigates infant gut microbiota maturation over the first year, identifying three conserved stages and associating disease and antibiotic use with stage regression.

This study shows that NSP1 is essential for murine rotavirus replication, pathogenesis, and transmission in vivo, even though it is not required for replication in cell culture.

The paper confirms the establishment of Culex modestus in Belgium and identifies its virome, highlighting the risk of arbovirus transmission.

The study identifies a diverse virome in honey bees and finds that many viruses are shared across Hymenoptera species, suggesting a lack of host specificity.

The paper identifies seven distinct rotavirus genotype constellations in bats, finds evidence of reassortment, and suggests potential zoonotic transmission to humans and equines.

This study shows that STAT2 signaling both restricts SARS-CoV-2 spread and causes severe pneumonia in infected hamsters.

This study identifies a vertically transmitted core virome in Aedes albopictus mosquitoes across developmental stages and continents, and finds a novel virus related to Yongsan bunyavirus 1.

This study evaluates how combining antivirals with different mechanisms delays resistance development in EV-A71 to pirodavir.

This study establishes a zebrafish larval model for human norovirus replication, showing high viral titers and antiviral response potential.
