Oral immunization of goats and foxes with a recombinant NDV vectored rabies vaccine

This study tests an oral rabies vaccine in goats and foxes, showing it is safe and induces immune responses.

Spatiotemporal analysis of SARS-CoV-2 infection reveals an expansive wave of monocyte-derived macrophages associated with vascular damage and virus clearance in hamster lungs

This study uses 3D spatiotemporal analysis to show that SARS-CoV-2 infection in hamsters leads to monocyte-derived macrophage infiltration, vascular damage, and virus clearance, followed by tissue remodeling and fibrosis.

Comparative Pathogenesis of Different Phylogroup I Bat Lyssaviruses in a Standardized Mouse Model

This study compares the pathogenicity and virus shedding of 13 lyssavirus isolates in a mouse model, revealing differences in clinical signs, survival, and astrocyte infection.

3D reconstruction of SARS-CoV-2 infection in ferrets emphasizes focal infection pattern in the upper respiratory tract

This study uses 3D imaging to show SARS-CoV-2 preferentially infects the upper respiratory tract of ferrets with a focal pattern in nasal turbinates.

MogR is a ubiquitous transcriptional repressor affecting motility, biofilm formation and virulence in Bacillus thuringiensis

This study identifies MogR as a pleiotropic transcriptional repressor in B. thuringiensis that regulates motility, biofilm formation, and virulence by modulating gene expression.

Neuroglia Infection by Rabies Virus after Anterograde Virus Spread in Peripheral Neurons

This study identifies Schwann cells as targets of field rabies virus in peripheral nerves, revealing anterograde spread and a role in suppressing innate immunity.
