Brazil is a major exporter of pork meat worldwide. Swine liver is a common ingredient in food consumed by humans, thus emphasizing the importance of evaluating the presence of associated pathogens in swine liver. To obtain knowledge, this study aimed to provide insights into the viral communities of livers collected from slaughtered pigs from southern Brazil. The 46 livers were processed and submitted for high-throughput sequencing (HTS). The sequences were most closely related to Anelloviridae, Circoviridae and Parvoviridae families. The present work also describes the first Brazilian PCV1 and the first PPV6 and PPV7 from South America. Virus frequencies revelead 63% of samples positive for TTSuV1, 71% for TTSuVk2, 10.8% for PCV, 13% for PPV and 6% for PBov. This report addresses the diversity of the liver virome of healthy pigs and expands the number of viruses detected, further characterizing their genomes to assist future studies.

Article Synopsis
- * Bacteriophages affect gut bacteria and the overall gut ecosystem, which may influence metabolism through their actions of attacking bacteria (lytic cycle) or integrating into bacterial DNA (lysogenic cycle).
- * Phage therapy is gaining interest as a potential alternative to antibiotics for treating metabolic diseases, with ongoing studies focused on its effectiveness and the challenges it faces.
Metagenome-based characterization of the gut bacteriome, mycobiome, and virome in patients with chronic hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis.

Introduction: The gut microbiota is believed to be directly involved in the etiology and development of chronic liver diseases. However, the holistic characterization of the gut bacteriome, mycobiome, and virome in patients with chronic hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis (CHB-LF) remains unclear.
Methods: In this study, we analyzed the multi-kingdom gut microbiome (i.
Dietary Effects on the Gut Phageome.
Int J Mol Sci
August 2024
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The gut microbiome significantly affects both local intestinal health and systemic conditions, influencing diseases like Crohn's, IBS, and even neurological issues like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
- - Diet plays a crucial role in shaping the gut microbiome, affecting both health and disease development through the interactions of gut bacteria with the food we consume.
- - While the bacterial microbiome is well-studied in relation to disease, the gut phageome (bacteriophages within the microbiome) is less understood, highlighting the need for more research on how diet affects these viral populations.
Gut phageome in Mexican Americans: a population at high risk for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and diabetes.

Mexican Americans are disproportionally affected by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which often co-occurs with diabetes. Despite extensive evidence on the causative role of the gut microbiome in MASLD, studies determining the involvement of the gut phageome are scarce. In this cross-sectional study, we characterized the gut phageome in Mexican Americans of South Texas by stool shotgun metagenomic sequencing of 340 subjects, concurrently screened for liver steatosis by transient elastography.
