1 Introduction Many birds have brightly colored plumage, which serves key visual-signaling roles either within (e.g., social status, mate attractiveness; Soma and Garamszegi 2018; Mason and Bowie 2020) or among species (e.g., species recognition; anti-predator or -parasite; McNaught and Owens 2002; Caro and Allen 2017).

AbstractThis study was aimed to investigate the frequency of PiCV recombination, the kinetics of PiCV viremia and shedding and the correlation between viral replication and host immune response in young pigeons subclinically infected with various PiCV variants and kept under conditions mimicking the OLR system. Fifteen racing pigeons originating from five breeding facilities were housed together for six weeks.

AbstractThe initial objective of this study was to shed light on the evolution of small DNA tumor viruses by analyzing de novo assemblies of publicly available deep sequencing datasets. The survey generated a searchable database of contig snapshots representing more than 100,000 Sequence Read Archive records. Using modern structure-aware search tools, we iteratively broadened the search to include an increasingly wide range of other virus families.
