The paper analyzes 5,163 mosquito meta-transcriptomes to characterize microbial diversity and interactions, identifying pathogens and cross-kingdom associations.

The paper analyzes the pathogen infectome of small mammals in southern China, identifying new pathogens and factors influencing their distribution and diversity.

The paper analyzes the infectome of bat kidneys from Yunnan, China, identifying novel viruses, a protozoan parasite, and bacterial species, including henipaviruses related to Hendra and Nipah viruses.

The paper analyzes wildlife infectomes to identify zoonotic pathogens, finding 62 novel pathogens including a new coronavirus genus and highlighting high pathogen diversity in Carnivora and Rodentia.

The paper identifies 162 viral species in small mammals from Yunnan, China, including 102 novel species and 24 with potential human health risks.

VirID improves RNA virus discovery and characterization from metagenomic data by reducing false positives, accurately estimating diversity, and identifying virus-host associations.

The paper analyzes meta-transcriptomic data from companion animals to identify microbial communities and assess zoonotic risks.
