Glad to share a new article from my lab:
"Tracing ancient viral footprints: a comprehensive study of endogenous viral elements in Bombus species"
If you are interested in EVEs, Bees, and genomics, I invite you to take a look...

New paper on BMC Plant Biology!
Our group at UESC-Brazil has identified a new Geminivirus (the first reported in cocoa plants) associated with symptomatic individuals of Theobroma cacao in the southeastern part of Bahia.

Glad to share our work on "The Virome of Cocoa Fermentation-Associated Microorganisms" mdpi.com/2893464 #mdpiviruses via @VirusesMDPI
Here, we applied a metatranscriptomics approach associated to HMM models to characterize (over 60) viral species, including RNA phages.

Glad to share our work describing the virome of Parasitoid Wasps. In addition, our data suggested prey-predator virus flux that could explain virus diversity.
