high variety of known and new rna and dna viruses of diverse origins in untreated sewage.	deep sequencing of untreated sewage provides an opportunity to monitor enteric infections in large populations and for high-throughput viral discovery. a metagenomics analysis of purified viral particles in untreated sewage from the united states (san francisco, ca), nigeria (maiduguri), thailand (bangkok), and nepal (kathmandu) revealed sequences related to 29 eukaryotic viral families infecting vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants (blastx e score, <10(-4)), including known pathogens (>90% pr ...	2012	22933275
novel myco-like dna viruses discovered in the faecal matter of various animals.	a wide variety of novel single-stranded dna (ssdna) viruses have been found in faecal matter of chimpanzees, cows, rodents, bats, badgers, foxes and pigs over the last few years. using a combination of rolling circle amplification coupled with restriction enzyme digests based approach as well as a next generation sequencing informed approach, we have recovered fourteen full genomes of ssdna viruses which exhibit genomic features described for members of the recently proposed gemycircularvirus gr ...	2013	23994297
diverse replication-associated protein encoding circular dna viruses in guano samples of central-eastern european bats.	circular replication-associated protein encoding single-stranded dna (cress dna) viruses are increasingly recognized worldwide in a variety of samples. representative members include well-described veterinary pathogens with worldwide distribution, such as porcine circoviruses or beak and feather disease virus. in addition, numerous novel viruses belonging to the family circoviridae with unverified pathogenic roles have been discovered in different human samples. viruses of the family genomovirid ...	2017	29247338
