The RNA Virome of Echinoderms

E. W. Jackson, R. C. Wilhelm, D. H. Buckley, I. Hewson

This study characterizes the RNA virome of 38 echinoderm species, identifying 347 viral genome fragments across nine viral orders and finding no significant difference in viral reads between life stages.

Surveillance of densoviruses and mesomycetozoans inhabiting grossly normal tissues of three New Zealand asteroid species

I. Hewson, M. A. Sewell

The paper surveys viruses and protists in normal tissues of three New Zealand asteroid species, identifying densovirus-like fragments and a mesomycete, with the latter widely present in body wall tissues.

A highly prevalent and pervasive densovirus discovered among sea stars from the North American Atlantic Coast

E. W. Jackson, C. Pepe-Ranney, M. R. Johnson, D. L. Distel, I. Hewson

This study discovers a new densovirus, AfaDV, prevalent in Atlantic sea stars and shows it is common in their microbiome, not linked to Sea Star Wasting Syndrome.

The virome in adult monozygotic twins with concordant or discordant gut microbiomes

J. L. Moreno-Gallego, S.-P. Chou, S. C. Di Rienzi, J. K. Goodrich, T. Spector, J. T. Bell, N. Youngblut, I. Hewson, A. Reyes, R. E. Ley

This study examines the relationship between microbiome diversity and virome diversity in adult monozygotic twins, finding that microbiome discordance correlates with virome dissimilarity.
