ABSTRACT Dynamo action refers to energy exchange processes through which magnetic fields are generated at the expense of kinetic energy of the plasma flows. Dynamos can generate magnetic fields across scales larger or smaller than the flows themselves. Multi-scale dynamo processes underpin magnetic phenomena from planetary cores to … Read more
Microbiol Resour Announc. 2026 Mar 12;15(3):e0147325. doi: 10.1128/mra.01473-25. Epub 2026 Feb 18. ABSTRACT Two circular, complete genomes of anelloviruses were identified from a crowned lemur anal swab and an aye-aye skin swab from individuals at the Duke Lemur Center (Durham, NC, USA). The anelloviruses represent two species in the Anelloviridae family and expand a developing … Read more
Arch Virol. 2025 Dec 18;171(1):23. doi: 10.1007/s00705-025-06485-1. ABSTRACT The 56th meeting of the Executive Committee (EC) of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) was held in Bari, Italy, in July/August, 2024, and 115 submitted taxonomy proposals were reviewed. A total of 112 were subsequently ratified by the ICTV membership. An additional 9 error … Read more
Nat Commun. 2025 Dec 11;17(1):375. doi: 10.1038/s41467-025-67057-0. ABSTRACT Anthropogenic-driven climate change is accelerating permafrost thaw, threatening to release vast carbon stores through increased microbial activity. While microbial roles are increasingly studied, the contributions of viruses remain largely unexplored, in part due to soil-associated technical challenges that have hindered their detection and characterization. Here, we applied … Read more
Virology. 2026 Feb;615:110768. doi: 10.1016/j.virol.2025.110768. Epub 2025 Dec 5. ABSTRACT The family Circoviridae comprises viruses with small single-stranded DNA genomes that are known to infect various animals, resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality in some hosts. Circoviruses have been recently identified through metagenomic sequencing in diverse terrestrial vertebrate species, but their distribution and diversity in … Read more
Microb Genom. 2025 Dec;11(12):001595. doi: 10.1099/mgen.0.001595. ABSTRACT In humans, adenoviruses (AdVs) are frequently associated with respiratory illnesses, posing risks to children with developing immune systems and immunocompromised individuals. Outbreaks and epidemics are generally centred in close-contact settings, such as childcare facilities, and transmission occurs through faecal-oral and airborne pathways. AdVs have coevolved across the primate … Read more
iScience. 2025 Nov 4;28(12):113941. doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2025.113941. eCollection 2025 Dec 19. ABSTRACT We conducted genomic surveillance during the 2022-2023 northern hemisphere influenza season at a university in the southwestern US to assess how local diversity and evolution compared to national trends. We identified 100 positive samples (19%) from clinical swabs collected at a student health clinic … Read more
Microb Genom. 2025 Nov;11(11):001580. doi: 10.1099/mgen.0.001580. ABSTRACT Polyomaviruses and papillomaviruses are icosahedral viruses with small circular dsDNA genomes. Limited information on their diversity and evolution in avian hosts is available, with even less known regarding Antarctic penguins. Prior to this study, only one polyomavirus and two papillomaviruses had been identified in Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae). … Read more
Microb Genom. 2025 Nov;11(11):001541. doi: 10.1099/mgen.0.001541. ABSTRACT Papillomaviruses are non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA viruses capable of infecting a wide range of vertebrates, from chondrichthyans to mammals. In this study, we report for the first time the identification and complete genome of a papillomavirus in the thornback skate (Raja clavata), named Raja clavata papillomavirus 1 (RclaPV1). The … Read more
Transplantation. 2026 Mar 1;110(3):e707-e714. doi: 10.1097/TP.0000000000005564. Epub 2025 Nov 6. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Ongoing shortages of organs for transplantation have prompted the critical question of which countries have the highest organ donation rates and how each can increase those rates. The existing metric of donors per million population is flawed because it does not sufficiently account … Read more
