Chujin Ruan (Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag)) and colleagues published a new paper on how phage-mediated peripheral kill-the-winner facilitates the maintenance of costly antibiotic resistance.

Marian Dominguez-Mirazo (Georgia Institute of Technology) and colleagues published a new preprint on inferring phage trait heterogeneity from population data, showing latent period variation in cyanophages exceeds that of coliphages and bur

Cátia Carreira (University of Copenhagen) and colleagues have written a perspective on the impact of viruses on soil biogeochemistry and argued for their consideration in soil microbial food webs, showing viruses as key regulators of soil f

NL Haddock and colleagues published a preprint demonstrating that phage populations in infected bodily fluids mirror the abundance and diversity of bacterial pathogens, suggesting a close relationship between phages and bacteria at sites of

Cyanophages play an important role in controlling the abundance of their hosts, which are globally significant populations of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus. In a new paper published in Viruses, Emily Dart (Clark University) and colleaug

We don't know much about phages in groundwater reservoirs, even though bacteria in these environments are thought to influence biogeochemical cycles. Ole Hylling (Aarhus University, Denmark) and colleagues published a new paper in Scientifi

Marta Lourenço (Institut Pasteur) and colleagues published a new paper in Cell Host and Microbe on how spatial heterogeneity in the gut limits phage predation and supports phage-host coexistence.
