Eric R.G.R. Aguiar,Eric R.G.R. Aguiar,Roenick P. Olmo,Roenick P. Olmo,Simona Paro,Flavia Viana Ferreira,Isaque João da Silva de Faria,Yaovi Mathias Honore Todjro,Francisco Pereira Lobo,Erna Geessien Kroon,Carine Meignin,Carine Meignin,Derek Gatherer,Jean-Luc Imler,Jean-Luc Imler,João Trindade Marques +15 more
TL;DR: This work developed a sequence-independent strategy based on virus-derived small RNAs produced by the host response, such as the RNA interference pathway that characterized six novel viruses in the viromes of laboratory fruit flies and wild populations of two insect vectors: mosquitoes and sandflies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Samba virus: a novel mimivirus from a giant rain forest, the Brazilian Amazon
Rafael K. Campos,Paulo V. M. Boratto,Felipe L. Assis,Eric R.G.R. Aguiar,Lorena C. F. Silva,Jonas D. Albarnaz,Fábio P. Dornas,Giliane de Souza Trindade,P. C. P. Ferreira,João Trindade Marques,Catherine Robert,Didier Raoult,Erna Geessien Kroon,Bernard La Scola,Jônatas Santos Abrahão +14 more
TL;DR: The discovery, isolation and characterization of Samba virus (SMBV), a novel giant virus belonging to the Mimivirus genus, which was isolated from the Negro River in the Brazilian Amazon and expands knowledge of Mimiviridae evolution and ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported 33 cases of recurrent, symptomatic, qRTPCR positive COVID-19 disease episodes, defined as symptomatic recurrence after symptom-free clinical recovery, with release from isolation >14 days from the beginning of symptoms confirmed by qRT-PCR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional specialization of the small interfering RNA pathway in response to virus infection.

TL;DR: The results indicate the existence of a vsiRNA pathway that is separate from the endogenous siRNA pathway and is specifically triggered by virus RNA, and it is speculated that this unique framework might be necessary for a prompt and efficient antiviral response.
Journal ArticleDOI
SchistoDB: an updated genome resource for the three key schistosomes of humans.
Adhemar Zerlotini,Eric R.G.R. Aguiar,Fudong Yu,Huayong Xu,Yixue Li,Neil D. Young,Robin B. Gasser,Anna V. Protasio,Matthew Berriman,David S. Roos,Jessica C. Kissinger,Guilherme Oliveira +11 more
TL;DR: The new release of SchistoDB provides a rich resource of genomic data for key blood flukes (genus Schistosoma) which cause disease in hundreds of millions of people worldwide and provides enhanced bioinformatics analyses and data-mining tools.
