    Abstract The analysis of the viruses allocated to the recently established Brevihamaparvovirus genus (Parvoviridae family), which includes all previously known brevidensoviruses, has not yet been carried out on an extensive basis. As a result, no detailed genetic lineage characterization has ever been performed for this group of insect-specific viruses. Using a wide range of molecular tools, we have explored this taxon by calculating Shannon entropy values, intra- and inter-taxon genetic distances, analysed sequence polymorphisms, and evaluated selective pressures acting on the viral genome. While the calculated Brevihamaparvovirus mutation rates were within the range of those of other parvoviruses, their genomes look to be under strong purifying selection, and are also characterized by low diversity and entropy. Furthermore, even though recombination events are quite common among parvoviruses, no evidence of recombination (either intra or intergenic) was found in the Brevihamaparvoviruses sequences analyzed. An extended taxonomic analysis and reevaluation of existing Brevihamaparvoviruses sequences, many still unclassified, was performed using cut-off values defining NS1 identity between viral sequences from the Parvovirus family. Two existing genetic lineages, Dipteran Brevihamaparvovirus 1 and Dipteran Brevihamaparvovirus 2, were rearranged and the creation of a new one, Dipteran Brevihamaparvovirus 3, was suggested. Finally, despite the uncertainties associated with both the time estimates of the most recent common ancestors, which could span from twenty thousand years before the current era to way earlier (in the last century), and the dispersal routes proposed for Brevihamaparvoviruses sequences by phylodynamic reconstruction, the analyses here presented could help define how future studies should be conducted as more isolates continue to be identified in the future, and contribute to eliminating possible analytical biases.

    Abstract Research on the recently established Mesoniviridae family (Order Nidovirales), RNA genome insect-specific viruses, has been steadily growing in the last decade. However, after the last detailed phylogenetic characterization of mesoniviruses in 2014, numerous new sequences, even in organisms other than mosquitos, have been identified and characterized. In this study, we analyzed nucleotide and protein sequences of mesoniviruses with a wide range of molecular tools including genetic distance, Shannon entropy, selective pressure analysis, polymorphism identification, principal coordinate analysis, likelihood mapping and phylodynamic reconstruction. We also sought to revaluate new mesoniviruses sequence positions within the family, proposing a taxonomic revision. The different sub-lineages of mosquito mesoniviruses sequences presented low sequence diversity and entropy, with incongruences to the existing taxonomy being found after an extensive phylogenetic characterization. High sequence discrepancy and differences in genome organization were found between mosquito mesoniviruses and other mesoniviruses, so their future classification, as other meso-like viruses that are found in other organisms, should be approached with caution. No evidence of frequent recombination was found, and mesonivirus genomes seem to evolve under strong purifying selection. Insufficient data by root-to-tip analysis did not yet allow for an adequate phylogeographic reconstruction.

    Abstract Large datasets along with sampling bias represent a challenge for phylodynamic reconstructions, particularly when the study data are obtained from various heterogeneous sources and/or through convenience sampling. In this study, we evaluate the presence of unbalanced sampled distribution by collection date, location, and risk group of human immunodeficiency virus Type 1 Subtype C using a comprehensive subsampling strategy and assess their impact on the reconstruction of the viral spatial and risk group dynamics using phylogenetic comparative methods. Our study shows that a most suitable dataset for ancestral trait reconstruction can be obtained through subsampling by all available traits, particularly using multigene datasets. We also demonstrate that sampling bias is inflated when considerable information for a given trait is unavailable or of poor quality, as we observed for the trait risk group. In conclusion, we suggest that, even if traits are not well recorded, including them deliberately optimizes the representativeness of the original dataset rather than completely excluding them. Therefore, we advise the inclusion of as many traits as possible with the aid of subsampling approaches in order to optimize the dataset for phylodynamic analysis while reducing the computational burden. This will benefit research communities investigating the evolutionary and spatio-temporal patterns of infectious diseases.

    Abstract Importance: For decades, researchers have studied the rapid evolution of influenza A viruses for vaccine design and as a useful model system for the study of host/parasite evolution. By performing an exhaustive analysis of hemagglutinin protein (HA) sequences from 49 lineages independently evolving in birds, swine, canines, equines, and humans over the last century, our work uncovers surprising features of HA evolution. In particular, the canine H3 stalk, unlike human H3 and H1 stalk domains, is not evolving slowly, suggesting that evolution in the stalk domain is not universally constrained across all host species. Therefore, a broader multi-host perspective on HA evolution may be useful during the evaluation and design of stalk-targeted vaccine candidates.

    Abstract The genus Flavivirus incorporates bona fide arboviruses, as well as others viruses with restricted replication in insect cells. Among the latter, a large monophyletic cluster of viruses, known as cISF (classical insect-specific flaviviruses), has been sampled in many species of mosquitoes collected over a large geographic range. In this study, we investigated nucleotide and protein sequences with a suite of molecular characterization approaches including genetic distance, Shannon entropy, selective pressure analysis, polymorphism identification, principal coordinate analysis, likelihood mapping, phylodynamic reconstruction, and spatiotemporal dispersal, to further characterize this diverse group of insect-viruses. The different lineages and sub-lineages of viral sequences presented low sequence diversity and entropy (though some displayed lineage-specific polymorphisms), did not show evidence of frequent recombination and evolved under strong purifying selection. Moreover, the reconstruction of the evolutionary history and spatiotemporal dispersal was highly impacted by overall low signals of sequence divergence throughout time but suggested that cISF distribution in space and time is dynamic and may be dependent on human activities, including commercial trading and traveling.
