This chapter discusses viruses that are emerging or that threaten to emerge among human populations in the 21century. Some viruses that emerged in the late 20century are discussed in an historical context; many of the experiences faced in the 20century with viruses such as human immunodeficiency ...
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth and play a significant role in the evolution of many organisms and ecosystems. In pathogenic protozoa, the presence of viruses has been linked to an increased risk of treatment failure and severe clinical outcome. Here, we studied the mol...

These covariates were used due to their potential effect on ...
Thousands of great ape specimens are kept in these collections, and could become an important resource for studying the evolution of DNA viruses. Their genetic material is likely to be preserved in dry museum specimens, as reported previously for monkeypox virus genomes from historical orangutan ...

It does so through the example of how changes in the socio-historical context of the researchers (i.e., the Covid-19 pandemic) can affect the analysis of empirical data. We (re)analyzed two vignettes, part of a large ethnographic study aimed at exploring practices and discou...
Fig. 2: Pruned historical host-virus interactions based on CRISPR spacer-to-protospacer matches. a, Spacer-to-protospacer matches between rep_mMAGs and rep_vMAGs, where at least two distinct matches were found are represented with an edge. CRISPR repeats that were found in multiple rep_mMAG ...
Seasonal influenza viruses continue to cause epidemics each year. In this Review, Petrova and Russell discuss recent advances in understanding the molecular determinants of influenza virus immune escape, sources of evolutionary selection pressure, popula
