The paper analyzes SARS-CoV-2 within-host diversity and transmission bottlenecks in acute infections, finding limited diversity and narrow bottlenecks that restrict variant spread.

This study infects rhesus macaques intravaginally with Zika virus and finds that two of three pregnancies resulted in early embryonic loss with viral RNA detected at the maternal-fetal interface.

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 in cats has limited within-host genetic variation and a narrow transmission bottleneck, with a variant H655Y emerging and spreading across transmission pairs.

This study shows Spondweni virus causes fetal harm in mice and is transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, similar to Zika virus.

The paper shows that tibrovirus glycoproteins can enter human, bat, and nonhuman primate cells, but replication resistance varies among cell types.

This study compares ZIKV replication kinetics and tissue distribution in rhesus macaques infected via mosquito bite versus subcutaneous inoculation, finding delayed viral peak and restricted tissue distribution in mosquito-infected animals.
