Its diversity and potential contributions to health and disease, particularly vaginitis, remain poorly understood.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted metagenomic sequencing on 24 pooled vaginal swab libraries collected from 267 women, including both healthy individuals and those diagnosed with vaginitis. Viral community composition, diversity indices (Shannon, Richness, and Pielou), and phylogenetic characteristics were analyzed. Virus\u2013host associations were also investigated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>DNA viruses dominated the vaginal virome. <jats:italic>Anelloviridae<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Papillomaviridae<\/jats:italic> were the most prevalent eukaryotic viruses, while <jats:italic>Siphoviridae<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Microviridae<\/jats:italic> were the leading bacteriophages. Compared to healthy controls, the vaginitis group exhibited significantly reduced alpha diversity and greater beta diversity dispersion, indicating altered viral community structure. Anelloviruses, detected in both groups, showed extensive lineage diversity, frequent recombination, and pronounced phylogenetic divergence. HPV diversity and richness were significantly elevated in the vaginitis group, alongside an unbalanced distribution of viral lineages. Novel phage\u2013bacterial associations were also identified, suggesting a potential role for bacteriophages in shaping the vaginal microbiome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings provide new insights into the composition and structure of the vaginal virome and its potential association with vaginal dysbiosis. The distinct virome characteristics observed in women with vaginitis highlight the relevance of viral communities in reproductive health. Future studies incorporating individual-level sequencing and metatranscriptomics are warranted to explore intra-host viral dynamics, assess viral activity, and clarify the functional roles of vaginal viruses in host\u2013microbiome interactions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2025.1582553","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,3]],"date-time":"2025-04-03T06:45:52Z","timestamp":1743662752000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Metagenomic analysis reveals the diversity of the vaginal virome and its association with vaginitis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xiang","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rong","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingzhong","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongmei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhihu","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuchen","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhipeng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lingzhi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ziyuan","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"450","DOI":"10.1038\/s41591-020-0820-9","article-title":"The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2","volume":"26","author":"Andersen","year":"2020","journal-title":"Nat.
