The paper examines the replication competence of KoVs in cell lines from different vertebrate classes, finding host-specific replication patterns consistent with phylogenetic groupings.

The paper identifies six novel kolmioviruses from diverse invertebrates and one fish using RNA-seq data.

This study identifies three new hepaciviruses in birds, revealing phylogenetic incongruence and suggesting past cross-species transmission among avian hepaciviruses.

This study maps the spatial distribution of ticks and tick-borne pathogens in central Hokkaido, Japan, and identifies ecological factors influencing their distribution.

The paper identifies a novel reptarenavirus, ACSV-1, from Amazon coral snake RNA-seq data, showing high divergence from known reptarenaviruses.

This study identifies a novel parahenipavirus, BbV, from northern short-tailed shrews using RNA-seq data and demonstrates its kidney tropism.

The paper identifies a novel nidovirus, CCNV-1, from common chameleons using RNA-seq data and places it phylogenetically within Nanhypoviridae and unclassified arteriviruses.

This study identifies and characterizes two nearly complete genomes of pigeon gammacoronaviruses, supporting their classification as a new species within the Igacovirus subgenus.

The paper demonstrates that ambisense transcription allows compact circular RNA viruses to expand coding capacity by expressing additional genes, using kolmioviruses as a case study.
