Deformed wing virus (DWV) can cause a major disease in honeybees worldwide and has been detected in many other arthropods (S. J. Martin and L. E. Brettell, Annu Rev Virol 6:49-69, 2019, https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-virology-092818-015700). The presence and replication of DWV in (red fire ant) were confirmed (G. P. Miles, X. F. Liu, E. Amiri, M. J. Grodowitz, et al., Insects 14:788, 2023, https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4450/14/10/788). Here, we document the DWV-A near-complete genome sequence from in Mississippi, USA.

Avian pox is a globally spread viral disease affecting a wide spectrum of wild and domesticated bird species. The disease is caused by a diverse group of large DNA viruses, namely, avipoxviruses (genus , family ). In this study, gross pathological examination and histopathological examination of skin lesions and several organs suggested acute poxvirus infection of a Eurasian crane (, Linnaeus, 1758).

Somion occarium is a wood-decaying bracket fungus belonging to an order known to be rich in useful chemical compounds. Despite its widespread distribution, S. occarium has been assessed as endangered on at least one national Red List, presumably due to loss of old-growth forest habitat.

Transitions across ecological boundaries, such as those separating freshwater from the sea, are major drivers of phenotypic innovation and biodiversity. Despite their importance to evolutionary history, we know little about the mechanisms by which such transitions are accomplished. To help shed light on these mechanisms, we generated the first high-quality, near-complete assembly and annotation of the genome of the American shad (Alosa sapidissima), an ancestrally diadromous (migratory between salinities) fish in the order Clupeiformes of major cultural and historical significance.

Viromics studies are allowing us to understand not only the enormous diversity of the virosphere, but also the potential threat posed by the emerging viruses. Regarding the latter, the main concern lies in monitoring the presence of RNA viruses, but the zoonotic potential of some DNA viruses, on which we have focused in the present study, should also be highlighted. For this purpose, we analyzed 160 fecal samples from 14 species of small terrestrial mammals, 9 of them belonging to the order .
