Study of viral diversity in aquatic ecosystems continues to be relevant, including the threat of the emergence of new infectious diseases of animals and humans. The aim of this work was to study the diversity of viral communities associated with the Baikal endemic mollusks Benedictia baicalensis (Caenogastropoda, Benedictiidae) using metagenomic analysis. Our study revealed a high diversity of viruses in mollusk samples, which indicates the important role of gastropods in the bioaccumulation and circulation of bacteria and viruses in the ecosystem of Lake Baikal.
