Article Synopsis
- A CRESS-DNA virus, primarily found in fecal samples from vertebrates, was examined in human vaginal samples for its presence.
- Viral metagenomics was conducted on samples from 28 healthy women in NYC, with some providing duplicates over a 12-21 day span.
- The study found that one individual had continuous detection of the CRESS-DNA virus over a twelve-day period, indicating it can persist in the human vagina.
Corrigendum to: Novel members of the order Picornavirales identified in freshwater from Guarapiranga reservoir in São Paulo (infection, Genetics and Evolution Volume 124, October 2024, 105668).

Article Synopsis
- Metagenomic research revealed that mosquito viromes are more diverse than just pathogenic viruses that affect humans, highlighting the complexity of mosquito-borne viruses.* -
- In a study conducted on 866 female mosquitoes in São Paulo Zoo, a new virus was identified through RNA extraction and next-generation sequencing, showing potential as a new species of iflavirus.* -
- These findings enhance our understanding of viral diversity in mosquitoes and provide a valuable genomic reference, aiding future research in virology and metagenomics.*
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 29 women studied, 18 tested positive for HPV, showing a significant increase from initial visits to after hormone stimulation.
- * Analysis identified various HPV types, notably under two genera, with some sequences potentially representing new types.
The global challenge of water resource availability is exacerbated by anthropogenic influences that promote the emergence of pollutants. Among these pollutants are microbiological agents, including viruses, which are ubiquitous in the biosphere and play a pivotal role in both ecological balance and the occurrence of diseases in animals and plants. Consequently, monitoring viruses in water sources becomes indispensable for the establishment of effective prevention, promotion, and control strategies.
