Highly diverse ribonucleic acid viruses in the viromes of eukaryotic host species in Yunnan province, China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The diversity in currently documented viruses and their morphological characteristics indicates the need for understanding the evolutionary characteristics of viruses. Notably, further studies are needed to obtain a comprehensive landscape of virome, the virome of host species in Yunnan province, China.

Materials and methods

We implemented the metagenomic next-generation sequencing strategy to investigate the viral diversity, which involved in 465 specimens collected from bats, pangolins, monkeys, and other species. The diverse RNA viruses were analyzed, especially focusing on the genome organization, genetic divergence and phylogenetic relationships.

Results

In this study, we investigated the viral composition of eight libraries from bats, pangolins, monke
