Journal ArticleDOI

Redefining the invertebrate RNA virosphere

TL;DR: A view of the RNA virosphere is presented that is more phylogenetically and genomically diverse than that depicted in current classification schemes and provide a more solid foundation for studies in virus ecology and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unprecedented genomic diversity of RNA viruses in arthropods reveals the ancestry of negative-sense RNA viruses

TL;DR: RNA sequencing of 70 arthropod species revealed that arthropods contain viruses that fall basal to major virus groups, including the vertebrate-specific arenaviruses, filoviruse, hantavirus, influenza viruses, lyssavirusing, and paramyxoviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolutionary history of vertebrate RNA viruses

TL;DR: Around 200 new vertebrates-specific viruses are discovered, and every vertebrate-specific viral family known to infect mammals and birds is also present in amphibians, reptiles or fish, suggesting that evolution of vertebrate viruses mirrors that of vertebrates hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogeny and origins of hantaviruses harbored by bats, insectivores, and rodents.

TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of the available diversity of hantaviruses reveals the existence of four phylogroups that infect a range of mammalian hosts, as well as the occurrence of ancient reassortment events between the phylog groups.
