Experiences of Parents and Caregivers of Children Who Underwent Gastrostomy Tube Insertion.

Gastrostomy feeding is a route of enteral nutrition for children with feeding difficulties. This study investigated caregiver experiences of the transition to gastrostomy feeding. A survey was administered to caregivers of children <18 years in a major pediatric center in Ireland.

Vertebrate-tropism of a cressdnavirus lineage implicated by poxvirus gene capture.

Among cressdnaviruses, only the family is recognized to infect vertebrates, while many others have unknown hosts. Detection of virus-to-host horizontal gene transfer is useful for solving such virus-host relationships. Here, we extend this utility to an unusual case of virus-to-virus horizontal transfer, showing multiple ancient captures of cressdnavirus genes by avipoxviruses-large dsDNA pathogens of birds and other saurians.

Anellovirus evolution during long-term chronic infection.

Human anelloviruses (AVs) are extremely genetically diverse, are widespread in the human population, and cause chronic infections. However, the evolutionary dynamics of AVs within single hosts is currently unknown, and it is unclear whether these changes have an implication on the long-term persistence of AVs in the host. Here, we assessed the evolutionary dynamics of six AV lineages during 30 years of chronic infection at single host resolution.
