Matryoshka RNA virus 1: a novel RNA virus associated with <i>Plasmodium</i> parasites in human malaria
2019-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Parasites of the genus Plasmodium cause human malaria. Yet nothing is known about the viruses that infect these divergent eukaryotes. We investigated the Plasmodium virome by performing a meta-transcriptomic analysis of blood samples from malaria patients infected with P. vivax, P. falciparum or P. knowlesi . This revealed a novel bi-segmented narna-like RNA virus restricted to P. vivax and named Matryoshka R...
