Inference of nodavirus zoonotic transmission networks from publicly available sequencing data

This study infers nodavirus zoonotic transmission networks and explores genetic diversity using publicly available sequencing data.

A high-quality reference genome and tissue expression atlas for the European lobster (Homarus gammarus)

This paper presents a high-quality genome assembly and tissue expression atlas for the European lobster, along with divergence time estimates and gene duplication analyses related to immunity and longevity.

Genomic and morphological characterisation of a novel iridovirus, bivalve iridovirus 1 (BiIV1), infecting the common cockle (Cerastoderma edule)

The paper characterizes a novel iridovirus, BiIV1, associated with cockle mortality, finding it prevalent in moribund cockles and sharing genomic features with other invertebrate iridoviruses.

Characterisation of Marteilia cocosarum in the Wash Estuary, UK, linked to mass mortalities of cockles (Cerastoderma edule), and its relationship to closely related species

The paper investigates Marteilia cocosarum infection in cockles in The Wash Estuary, UK, linking it to mass mortalities and identifying genetic differences from a Welsh genotype.

Laboratory in vitro replication of Ostreid Herpes Virus (OsHV-1) using Pacific oyster tissue explants

This study establishes an in vitro model using Pacific oyster tissue explants to replicate OsHV-1, showing that oyster source affects infection outcomes.

A novel RNA virus, Macrobrachium rosenbergii Golda virus (MrGV), linked to mass mortalities of the larval giant freshwater prawn in Bangladesh

The paper identifies a novel RNA virus, MrGV, linked to mass mortalities in M. rosenbergii larvae in Bangladesh and shows its widespread presence using PCR.
