Members of the family Parvoviridae are small, resilient, non-enveloped viruses with linear,
single-stranded DNA genomes of 4–6 kb. Viruses in two subfamilies, the Parvovirinae and …

Many new viruses have been discovered recently, thanks in part to the advent of next-
generation sequencing technologies. Among the Parvoviridae, three novel members of the …

Parvoviridae, a diverse family of small single-stranded DNA viruses was established in
1975. It was divided into two subfamilies, Parvovirinae and Densovirinae, in 1993 to …

Two years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, key questions about the emergence of
its aetiological agent (SARS-CoV-2) remain a matter of considerable debate. Identifying …

We identified severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA in an oropharyngeal
swab specimen collected from a child with suspected measles in early December 2019,≈ 3 …

Measles is one of the most contagious diseases known to man. Despite the existence of a
safe and effective live attenuated vaccine, measles can appear in vaccinated individuals …

Acute central nervous system (CNS) infections cause substantial morbidity and mortality, but
the etiology remains unknown in a large proportion of cases. We identified and …

In 5–40% of respiratory infections in children, the diagnostics remain negative, suggesting
that the patients might be infected with a yet unknown pathogen. Virus discovery cDNA …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: In developed countries, hepatitis E is usually associated with
