The paper identifies Polinton diversity in nematode genomes, showing ancient and recent integrations and horizontal gene transfer of distinct DNA polymerases across phyla.

This study demonstrates that hepatobiliary organoids from leporids support replication of hepatotropic lagoviruses, with species-specific tropism observed in different host organoids.

This study uses metatranscriptomic sequencing to profile pathogens in Australian rabbit liver samples, identifying known pathogens and highlighting the need for improved biosecurity practices.

This study investigates the virulence of RHDV2 in rabbits, finding 100% case fatality rate regardless of age or dose, with disease symptoms appearing late in infection.

This paper demonstrates heterologous protein expression in planarians using mRNA transfection, improving reporter expression through UTR optimization and codon bias.

This paper establishes a protocol for isolating and maintaining rabbit intestinal organoids and monolayers, demonstrating their ability to mimic intestinal epithelium and support pathogen research.

This study uses carrion flies to monitor rabbit calicivirus activity in Australia, finding good correlation with rabbit samples and proposing a less biased surveillance method.

The paper discovers three new hare lagoviruses in Australian hares, highlighting unexplored viral diversity and suggesting extensive unsampled diversity in the genus.

The paper develops strain-specific RT-PCR assays to detect lagoviruses in Australia and identifies a novel recombinant virus variant combining genes from GI.1a-Aus and GI.2.
