The paper identifies ten new sarthrovirus species from diverse hosts in Australia, expanding the family to 11 species and seven genera, and suggests alternative replication strategies and helper virus associations.

This paper identifies novel kolmioviruses in vertebrates, showing multiple lineages co-circulated through vertebrate evolution, with HDV-HBV association emerging recently.

The paper identifies a new lineage of chuviruses in Australian microbats and reveals high viral diversity and connectivity among microbat species.

The paper isolates a new jingchuvirus, TDCV, from Tasmanian devil tumor cells, showing it infects these cells but not mosquito cells, and suggests it belongs to a novel virus family.

This paper identifies a 39.8kb flavi-like virus without an exonuclease that overcomes the RNA virus error threshold by using bacterial nucleic acid metabolism domains.
