Enormous diversity of RNA viruses in economic crustaceans

The study delves into the largely uncharted territory of RNA viruses in crustaceans, which are not only vital for global food supply but also play a pivotal role in marine ecosystems. Focusing on economic crustaceans, the research uncovers 90 RNA viruses, with 69 being potentially new to science, highlighting the vast unknown viral diversity within these marine organisms. The findings reveal that these viruses are often related to those found in other invertebrates and tend to share close relationships with viruses from species within the same food web or habitat. This suggests that viruses may move between different marine species more frequently than previously thought. The discovery of such a wide variety of viruses, particularly the diverse genome structures of newly identified picornaviruses, is a significant leap forward in understanding the crustacean virology. This knowledge is crucial for managing disease risks in aquaculture and maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems.

Abstract

The study delves into the largely uncharted territory of RNA viruses in crustaceans, which are not only vital for global food supply but also play a pivotal role in marine ecosystems. Focusing on economic crustaceans, the research uncovers 90 RNA viruses, with 69 being potentially new to science, highlighting the vast unknown viral diversity within these marine organisms. The findings reveal that these viruses are often related to those found in other invertebrates and tend to share close relationships with viruses from species within the same food web or habitat. This suggests that viruses may move between different marine species more frequently than previously thought. The discovery of such a wide variety of viruses, particularly the diverse genome structures of newly identified picornaviruses, is a significant leap forward in understanding the crustacean virology. This knowledge is crucial for managing disease risks in aquaculture and maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems.
