Gammaherpesviruses (γHVs) are generally considered host specific and to
have codiverged with their hosts over millions of years. This tenet is
challenged here by broad-scale phylogenetic analysis of two viral genes
using the largest sample of mammalian γHVs to date, integrating for the
first time bat γHV sequences available from public repositories and newly
generated viral sequences from two vampire bat species (Desmodus rotundus
and Diphylla ecaudata). Bat and primate viruses frequently represented
deep branches within the supported phylogenies and clustered among viruses
from distantly related mammalian taxa. Following evolutionary scenario
testing, we determined the number of host-switching and cospeciation
events. Cross-species transmissions have occurred much more frequently
than previously estimated, and most of the transmissions were attributable
to bats and primates. We conclude that the evolution of the
Gammaherpesvirinae subfamily has been driven by both cross-species
transmissions and subsequent cospeciation within specific viral lineages
and that the bat and primate orders may have potentially acted as
superspreaders to other mammalian taxa throughout evolutionary history.
Megan results vampire bat viromeTITLE: Assigned reads from the HTS data
DESCRIPTION: MEGAN files corresponding to confirmed gammaherpervirus
matching reads found within five Desmodus rotundus and Diphylla ecaudata
vampire bat spleen samples. Viral assignment was performed using BLASTX
against the GenBank non-redundant protein database and mapped with SMALT
against a custom-built herpesviral database under a stringency of 60%. The
γHV-matching reads were further selected by reciprocal BLASTX analysis
using the following criteria: length of ≥100 bp, pairwise identity
>50%, e-value <10-6, and independent hits to two different
γHV proteins or at least two different regions of the same
protein.Vampbat_viromeDRYAD.zip
