Geographic variation in the eukaryotic virome of human diarrhea

Abstract: Little is known about the population of eukaryotic viruses in the human gut (“virome”) or the potential role it may play in disease. We used a metagenomic approach to define and compare the eukaryotic viromes in pediatric diarrhea cohorts from two locations (Melbourne and Northern Territory, Australia). We detected viruses known to cause diarrhea, non-pathogenic enteric viruses, viruses not associated with an enteric reservoir, viruses of plants, and novel viruses. Viromes from Northern Territory children cont… Show more

“…Enterovirus infections are common and include numerous human and animal pathogens, as well as highly prevalent genotypes with low or rare pathogenic outcomes (67)(68)(69)(70)(71)(72). Disease induction by enteroviruses is likely to be influenced by viral genotypes, host genetics, and immunological factors.…”

“…One study has compared the eukaryotic virome in stools of 87 children with diarrhea collected from two different locations-Melbourne, Australia and the Northern Territory, Australia-characterized by distinct environments (a westernized urban setting versus remote communities across a large geographic area) [46]. Diarrhea samples from the Northern Territory contained more viral families per sample than did diarrhea samples from Melbourne.…”

“…However, they are more sporadically distributed over time, with generally limited persistence during early development [41,55,56]. The epidemiology of eukaryotic viruses could be driven by a combination of factors such as maternal antibodies, geography, and environmental factors [46,57,58]. For example, the seasonality of influenza and parechovirus infections is well documented [59,60].…”

“…Sequence reads are classified based on similarity to reference genomes. This approach allows comprehensive study of the viral component of the microbiome (the virome) and has led to the discovery of novel viruses (for review, see Chiu 2013) and the characterization of viruses present in healthy and sick people (Reyes et al 2010;Minot et al 2011;Lysholm et al 2012;Wylie et al 2012Wylie et al , 2014Holtz et al 2014;Oh et al 2014;Young et al 2014). When adequate numbers of sequence reads are generated, viruses can be characterized with regard to taxonomy and the presence of genes associated with virulence and resistance to antiviral drugs.…”
