From islands to infectomes: host-specific viral diversity among birds across remote islands
2024-03-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Accelerating biodiversity loss necessitates monitoring the potential pathogens of vulnerable species. With a third of New Zealand's avifauna considered at risk of extinction, a greater understanding of the factors that influence viral transmission in this island ecosystem is needed. We used metatranscriptomics to determine the viruses, as well as other microbial organisms (i.e. the infectomes...
