Systematic genome analysis enables long-overdue taxonomic reorganization of genus Orthoflavivirus; potential assignment of over 50 new species

The paper proposes a genetic divergence threshold for demarcating orthoflavivirus species, identifying 25 new Euflavivirus and 33 new Fusivirus species.

Newly identified genomic sequences establish benchmarks for proposed taxonomic classification of jingmenviruses

The paper establishes classification criteria for jingmenviruses using genomic sequences from metagenomics data to define species demarcation thresholds.

Elucidating the interaction network of one of the largest icosahedral capsids in the virosphere

The paper investigates the interaction network of mimivirus, revealing distinct protein modules and conserved assembly nodes in its icosahedral capsid.

The fluid genomic organisation of jingmenviruses

The paper identifies three novel jingmenviruses with up to six genomic segments and proposes mechanisms for their translation, contributing to understanding their multipartite genomic organization.

Molecular Xenomonitoring (MX) allows real-time surveillance of West Nile and Usutu virus in mosquito populations.

The paper introduces Molecular Xenomonitoring (MX) to detect West Nile and Usutu viruses in mosquito populations, showing it can identify viral circulation before human cases.

Discovery of a novel jingmenvirus in Australian sugarcane Soldier fly (Inopus flavus) larvae

The paper identifies a novel jingmenvirus, IFJV1, in Australian sugarcane soldier fly larvae and demonstrates its replication in the host but not in vertebrate cells.
