Pathogenic Leptospira are widespread in the urban wildlife of southern California

The paper assesses Leptospira prevalence and risk factors in urban wildlife in southern California, finding widespread exposure in multiple species.

Stabilizing selection of seasonal influenza receptor binding in populations with partial immunity

This study shows stabilizing selection on influenza HA receptor binding in populations with partial immunity, due to competing within- and between-host selective pressures.

Common Vetch: a drought tolerant, high protein neglected leguminous crop with potential as a sustainable food source.

This paper highlights common vetch as a sustainable protein source and discusses the potential to eliminate a toxin using genome editing.

Serosolver: an open source tool to infer epidemiological and immunological dynamics from serological data

Serosolver infers infection history and immunological parameters from serological data using a mechanistic model of antibody dynamics and latent infection processes.

Characterising antibody kinetics from multiple influenza infection and vaccination events in ferrets

This study models antibody kinetics in ferrets after various influenza exposures, finding that infection and adjuvanted vaccination produce stronger, broader immune responses than unadjuvanted vaccination.
