Prediction of Bovine coronavirus immune epitopes using selection and phylogenetic analysis

This study predicts immune epitopes of BoCoV structural proteins and identifies recombination events and diversifying selection in Irish isolates.

Inhibition of potassium ion channels reduces Semliki Forest virus genome replication

This study shows that K+ channel inhibitors reduce SFV replication and cytotoxicity in vitro by disrupting an early post-entry step, suggesting potential for antiviral repurposing.

A retrospective molecular investigation of selected pigeon viruses between 2018-2021 in Turkey

The paper investigates the prevalence of selected viruses in Turkish pigeons, finding PiCV most common and PiHV first detected in Turkey.

West Nile virus in crocodiles and mosquitoes in Zimbabwe

The paper detects West Nile virus lineages 1 and 2 in Zimbabwean mosquitoes and crocodile samples, indicating viral circulation and potential risk to humans and animals.

Direct evidence for transport of RNA from the mouse brain to the germline and offspring

This study demonstrates that somatic RNA from the mouse brain can be transported to the germline and passed to offspring.

Primary infection with dengue or Zika virus does not affect the severity of heterologous secondary infection in macaques.

This study investigates whether prior dengue or Zika virus infection affects the severity of subsequent heterologous secondary infections in macaques, finding no significant impact on clinical outcomes.

Pre-existing SIV Infection Increases Susceptibility to Tuberculosis in Mauritian Cynomolgus Macaques

This study shows that pre-existing SIV infection in macaques increases susceptibility to tuberculosis by impairing immune control of M.tb.

Infection via mosquito bite alters Zika virus replication kinetics in rhesus macaques

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.
