Entamoeba and Giardia parasites implicated as hosts of CRESS viruses

Metagenomics allows virus genome discovery, but the viral hosts are often not identified. Here, Kinsella et al. use recombination events between virus genomes, statistical association of viruses to hosts in clinical samples, and analysis of endogenous viral elements in host genomes to identify proba...

Description
Summary:Metagenomics allows virus genome discovery, but the viral hosts are often not identified. Here, Kinsella et al. use recombination events between virus genomes, statistical association of viruses to hosts in clinical samples, and analysis of endogenous viral elements in host genomes to identify probable hosts of three CRESS virus families.
