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.

Detection of Macrobrachium rosenbergii golda virus (MrGV) in giant river prawn larvae across Asia through NCBI sequence read archive (SRA) data mining

This study identifies MrGV in M. rosenbergii larvae across Asia using SRA data mining, showing its association with larval life stages and geographic spread.

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.

Genome-wide association and genomic prediction of growth traits in the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis)

This study evaluates genomic selection for improving growth traits in European flat oysters using low-density SNP panels and finds that similar prediction accuracies can be achieved with fewer markers.

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.

A genome-wide association study for host resistance to Ostreid Herpesvirus in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

This study identifies a genomic region associated with resistance to Ostreid Herpesvirus in Pacific oysters using a genome-wide association study and linkage mapping.
