Virus discovery using current and novel methods
… samples, and ancient remains. The recovery of viruses from such datasets can provide insights into the diversity and evolution of both novel and already known viruses. This thesis focuses on two aspects of virus discovery in NGS datasets. In the first part of this thesis, I present ancient …

Advancing RNA Virus Discovery and Biology with Whole Genome Sequencing
<p>Two RNA virus families that pose a threat to human and animal health are Hantaviridae and Coronaviridae. These RNA viruses which originate in wildlife continue and will continue to cause disease, and hence, it is critical that scientific research define the mechanisms as to how these viruses …

The Biotechnological Applications of an Insect-Specific Alphavirus
… host diversity with evolving methods of virus discovery has resulted in the identification and classification of a growing number of novel insect-specific viruses (ISVs). These viruses appear to be evolutionarily related to many human pathogens but have either lost or have yet to gain the …

Metagenomic identification and characterisation of emerging and re-emerging viruses causing disease in febrile patients.
… EID have increased in recent decades, with RNA viruses responsible for a substantial proportion of them. Outbreaks are more likely to occur in areas with high biodiversity, poor sanitation and public health infrastructure, and limited resources for EID control. Furthermore, clinical symptoms of …

Evolutionary studies of wheat streak mosaic-associated viruses and characterization of the wheat virome
Wheat viruses including Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV), High Plains wheat mosaic emaravirus (HPWMoV), and Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) cost substantial losses in crop yields annually. Although there have been extensive studies conducted on known wheat viruses, …

Mining Diverse and Novel RNA Viruses in Transcriptomic Datasets
… to identify novel and diverse RNA viruses. For this, I developed a workflow and applied various methods to accommodate and characterize the (un)expected viral diversity. I analysed multiple RNA-sequencing datasets of ants and I …
