This study shows that the stem-loop II motif in SARS-CoV-2 is not essential for viral growth in vitro or in vivo.

This paper shows a bivalent ChAd nasal vaccine protects against SARS-CoV-2 BQ.1.1 and XBB.1.5 in mice and hamsters through mucosal immunity, despite poor serum neutralizing antibody responses.

This paper evaluates the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 BQ.1.1 and BA.5.5 variants in multiple rodent models, finding increased virulence in transgenic mice but not in conventional mice or hamsters.

This study shows the stem-loop II motif is critical for astrovirus replication but not for SARS-CoV-2.

The study assesses the prevalence of Bourbon and Heartland viruses in ticks at an environmental field station, finding 3.9% and 7.6% positivity rates respectively.

The paper identifies JIB-04 as a broad-spectrum antiviral that inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and coronavirus pathogenesis in vitro and in vivo.
