Article Synopsis
- - The research focuses on understanding the evolutionary characteristics of diverse RNA viruses found in various animal species, highlighting the importance of studying the virome in Yunnan, China.
- - Using metagenomic next-generation sequencing, the study analyzed 465 specimens from bats, pangolins, monkeys, and more, identifying several RNA viruses, including five newly discovered Alphacoronavirus strains.
- - Findings revealed significant genetic divergence and potential new viral species, raising awareness of the evolutionary dynamics among viruses, and the need for further research in this area.
Background: infection (CDI) caused by toxigenic strains leads to antibiotic-related diarrhea, colitis, or even fatal pseudomembranous enteritis. Previously, we conducted a cross-sectional study on prevalence of CDI in southwest China. However, the antibiotics resistance and characteristics of genomes of these isolates are still unknown.

Here, we identified genomic fragments of novel posa-like viruses (monsaviruses) in monkey specimens through next generation sequencing and obtained 11 full-length genomes. This monsavirus shared 88.

However, other factors might contribute to recurring outbreaks. We analyze the role of undocumented migrants as potential transmitters of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in China.
