Novel RNA viruses associated with avian haemosporidian parasites
2021-11-23
Abstract excerpt
Avian haemosporidian parasites can cause malaria-like symptoms in their hosts and have been implicated in the demise of some bird species. The newly described Matryoshka RNA viruses (MaRNAV1 and MaRNAV2) infect parasites that in turn infect their vertebrate hosts. MaRNAV2 was the first RNA virus discovered associated with parasites of the genus Leucocytozoon . By analyzing metatranscriptomes from the NCBI SRA dat...
