Virus ecology: studying animal reservoirs to understand viral emergence.
Ten years after the SARS epidemic, zoonotic and emerging viruses have become a growing field of research. Some remarkable novel virus descriptions in animals have demonstrated how ignorant we are of the diversity of viruses around us. In our efforts to delineate viral origins we may have to re-assess our concept of reservoir. In many instances, we are mixing up ecological and epidemiological im...
متن کاملEvolutionary ecology of virus emergence.
The cross-species transmission of viruses into new host populations, termed virus emergence, is a significant issue in public health, agriculture, wildlife management, and related fields. Virus emergence requires overlap between host populations, alterations in virus genetics to permit infection of new hosts, and adaptation to novel hosts such that between-host transmission is sustainable, all ...
متن کاملVirus Satellites Drive Viral Evolution and Ecology
Virus satellites are widespread subcellular entities, present both in eukaryotic and in prokaryotic cells. Their modus vivendi involves parasitism of the life cycle of their inducing helper viruses, which assures their transmission to a new host. However, the evolutionary and ecological implications of satellites on helper viruses remain unclear. Here, using staphylococcal pathogenicity islands...
متن کاملZoonotic Hepatitis E Virus: Classification, Animal Reservoirs and Transmission Routes
During the past ten years, several new hepatitis E viruses (HEVs) have been identified in various animal species. In parallel, the number of reports of autochthonous hepatitis E in Western countries has increased as well, raising the question of what role these possible animal reservoirs play in human infections. The aim of this review is to present the recent discoveries of animal HEVs and thei...
متن کاملMicrobial Hydrocarbon Degradation: Efforts to Understand Biodegradation in Petroleum Reservoirs
The understanding of the phylogenetic diversity, metabolic capabilities, ecological roles, and community dynamics taking place in oil reservoir microbial communities is far from complete. The interest in studying microbial diversity and metabolism in petroleum reservoirs lies mainly but not only on providing a better comprehension of biodegradation of crude oils, since it represents a worldwide...
