New preprint on canine viromes in Australia led by @jonathonmifsud.bsky.social. Includes the first RNA virus reported in dingoes - an unusual rotavirus A. Domestic dogs worldwide seem to carry a pretty similar set of viruses. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Diverse Viral Pathogens in Australian Canines: Limited Geographic Structure and the First Detection of an RNA Virus in Dingoes
Viruses impose a substantial disease burden on dogs and the close relationship between dogs and humans may facilitate zoonotic disease emergence. Australia's geographic isolation, strict biosecurity m...

New preprint out now! The history of some RNA virus lineages that infect vertebrates might date back to our invertebrate ancestors.

Turns out that metatranscriptomic sequencing of animal gut contains can identify exotic plant viruses that are biosecurity threats. Work led by Jackie Mahar and Solomon Maina. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Detection of exotic biosecurity threat ribgrass mosaic virus and novel tobamoviruses through metatranscriptomic sequencing of animal gut content
Ribgrass mosaic virus (RMV) and related viruses of the genus Tobamovirus (Virgaviridae) are cruciferous plant pathogens that represent a threat to global horticultural systems. In Australia, they are ...

Next up is Mary Petrone @marypetrone.bsky.social who is Extending the evolutionary history of disease-causing RNA viruses. Mary has been sampling marine invertebrates and makes a compelling case that sponges and tunicates are exciting hot beds of virus evolution. #AVS12

I have been so impressed by the @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social meeting.
EXCELLENT talks, across all career stages. Amazing sense of community. Really positive and supportive meeting.
Plus, I beat @robull.bsky.social at the double-gloved tube capping challenge.
Thank you so much for hosting me!

First isolation of a chu-like virus (TDCV)....from primary facial (transmissible) tumor cells of the Tasmanian devil. Most closely related to a virus from a sea squirt 🤷♂️ Work led by @julienmelade.bsky.social with @erinharvey.bsky.social and Andy Flies et al. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Isolation of an infectious mammalian chu-like virus from tumor cells of the endangered Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii)
Jingchuvirales (negative-sense RNA viruses) were initially discovered in invertebrates, with both exogenous and endogenous jingchuviruses subsequently identified in fish, reptiles and mammals. To date...
