A world of viruses nested within parasites: Unraveling viral diversity within parasitic flatworms (Platyhelminthes)

2021-12-15

Abstract excerpt

Because parasites have an inextricable relationship with their host, they have the potential to serve as viral reservoirs or facilitate virus host-shifts. Yet, little is known about viruses infecting parasitic hosts except for blood-feeding arthropods that are well-known vectors of zoonotic viruses. Herein we uncover viruses of flatworms (Phylum Platyhelminthes, group Neodermata) that specialize in parasitizing ve...
