Virus–virus interactions and host ecology are associated with RNA virome structure in wild birds
Abstract Little is known about the factors that shape the ecology of RNA viruses in nature. Wild birds are an important case in point, as other than influenza A virus, avian samples are rarely tested for viruses, especially in the absence of overt disease. Using bulk RNA ‐sequencing (“meta‐transcrip...
