> Freshwater lakes and ponds present an ecological interface between humans and a variety of host organisms. They are a
habitat for the larval stage of many insects and may serve as a medium for intraspecies and interspecies transmission of
viruses such as avian influenza A virus. Furthermore, freshwater bodies are already known repositories for disease-causing
viruses such as Norwalk Virus, Coxsackievirus, Echovirus, and Adenovirus. While RNA virus populations have been studied in
marine environments, to this date there has been very limited analysis of the viral community in freshwater. Here we
present a survey of RNA viruses in Lake Needwood, a freshwater lake in Maryland, USA.

 viruses found include

Acute bee paralysis virus
Israel acute paralysis virus
Black queen cell virus
Kashmir bee virus
Hepatitis E virus
Influenza A virus (AternAustralia13632004 (H2N5)
unidentified chinese clam virus 16–50
Blackberry virus Z
