Abstract

House finches are desert birds native to Mexico and the southwestern United States of America. They are relatively well studied in terms of their diet, breeding, and migration patterns, but knowledge regarding viruses associated with these birds is limited. DNA viruses in fecal and nest samples of finches sampled in Phoenix (Arizona, USA) were identified using high-throughput sequencing. Seventy-three genomoviruses were identified, belonging to four genera: Gemycircularvirus (n = 27), Gemykibivirus (n = 41), Gemykroznavirus (n = 3) and Gemykrogvirus (n = 2). These 73 finch genomoviruses represent nine species, eight of which are novel. This study reiterates that these genomoviruses are ubiquitous in ecosystems.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
