Vitamin D and the ability to produce 1,25(OH)2D are critical for protection from viral infection of the lungs.

J. Arora, D. R. Patel, M. J. Nicol, C. J. Field, K. H. Restori, J. Wang, N. E. Froelich, B. Katkere, J. A. Terwilliger, V. Weaver, E. Luley, K. Kelly, G. S. Kirimanjeswara, T. C. Sutton, M. T.-A. Cantorna

This study shows that vitamin D deficiency worsens lung inflammation during H1N1 and SARS-CoV-2 infections, while sufficient vitamin D reduces inflammation, though not viral replication.

Historical biogeography of early diverging termite lineages (Isoptera: Teletisoptera)

M. Wang, S. Hellemans, J. Sobotnik, J. Arora, A. Bucek, D. Sillam-Dusses, C. Clitheroe, T. Lu, N. Lo, M. Engel, Y. Roisin, T. A. Evans, t. bourguignon

This paper reconstructs the historical biogeography of early diverging termite lineages using genetic data, finding that their distribution resulted from both over-water dispersals and land bridge migrations.

Neoisoptera repetitively colonised Madagascar after the Middle Miocene climatic optimum

M. Wang, S. Hellemans, A. Bucek, T. Kanao, J. Arora, C. Clitheroe, J.-J. Rafanomezantsoa, B. Fisher, R. Scheffrahn, D. Sillam-Dusses, Y. Roisin, J. Sobotnik, t. bourguignon

This study uses mitochondrial genomes to show that Neoisoptera colonized Madagascar 7-10 times during the Miocene, matching Australia's colonization timing and sharing similar taxonomic composition.

The microbiome wants what it wants: microbial evolution overtakes experimental host-mediated indirect selection

J. Arora, M. Mars Brisbin, A. Mikheyev

This study shows that microbial evolution outcompetes host-mediated selection in shaping host phenotype, highlighting the challenges of microbiome engineering.

Parallel genomic evolution of parasite tolerance in wild honey bee populations

K. Bozek, J. Rangel, J. Arora, M. Tin, E. Crotteau, G. Loper, J. Fewell, A. Mikheyev

The paper studies parallel genomic evolution in two wild honey bee populations responding to Varroa destructor, finding strong genetic correlations and selection on metabolic and developmental pathways.
