TL;DR: It is shown that SARS-CoV-2 elicits robust, broad and highly functional memory T cell responses, suggesting that natural exposure or infection may prevent recurrent episodes of severe COVID-19.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a systematic exploration of the viruses that infect humans, "the human virome," can be initiated, and a general culture-independent solution to the problem of detecting unknown virus species in single or pooled samples is provided.

TL;DR: The identification of a previously unknown polyomvirus provisionally named KI polyomavirus, which is phylogenetically related to other primatepolyomaviruses in the early region of the genome but has very little homology to known polyomVirus in the late region, illustrates how unbiased screening of respiratory tract samples can be used for the discovery of diverse virus types.

TL;DR: Results suggest a model for bocavirus infection in which high viral loads are potentially associated with respiratory symptoms and low viral loads indicate asymptomatic shedding, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis may be important for additional studies of human bocvirus.

TL;DR: DNase treatment of serum samples may prove to be a very useful tool for virus discovery and the DNase-SISPA method is suitable for screening of a large number of samples and also enables rapid sequence determination of high-titer viruses.
