DeepVir automates viral dark matter discovery by integrating homology-based alignment and HMM mining, identifying novel viral groups and lineages from bat transcriptomic data.

The study sequenced the fecal virome of Brazilian porcupines, identifying 41 viral families and highlighting potential zoonotic agents.

The paper describes an outbreak of toxoplasmosis in captive primates during the COVID-19 pandemic, identifying Toxoplasma gondii as the causative agent through a collaborative, interdisciplinary investigation.

The paper reports a viral metagenomic analysis of fecal samples from Southeastern Maned Sloths, identifying viral families and disease-associated bacterial genera.

The paper identifies two novel insect viruses in marmoset fecal samples using viral metagenomics, suggesting potential insect hosts and expanding knowledge of viral diversity in Neotropical primates.

The paper identifies two new Anelloviridae species in Callithrix penicillata using HTS and metagenomics, revealing host-virus co-diversification patterns.
