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

This study examines the structure and flexibility of the herpesvirus nuclear egress complex (NEC) using electron cryo-tomography, revealing its hexameric lattice and role in capsid envelopment.

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.

This study identifies CP204L as an ASFV protein that interacts with VPS39, altering lysosome dynamics and promoting virus replication.

This study shows a low-dose bivalent mRNA vaccine targeting multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants provides strong protection in mice and rats, with comparable antibody levels and reduced viral replication.

This study determines the minimum infective dose of SARS-CoV-2 for Golden Syrian hamsters and highlights their high susceptibility, suggesting a potential zoonotic risk.

The paper serologically screens wild ruminants in Germany for SARS-CoV-2, bluetongue virus, pestivirus, and Schmallenberg virus, finding no evidence of spread but high seroprevalence against Schmallenberg virus and potential cross-reactivity with SARS-CoV-2.

This study evaluates the efficacy of the CVnCoV mRNA vaccine against ancestral and emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants in a human ACE2 transgenic mouse model, showing complete protection against B.1.351.

This study identifies NS1 protein length variations in H5N8 avian influenza viruses that affect their transmission and virulence in chickens and ducks.

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.

This study infects cattle with SARS-CoV-2 and observes limited replication and sero-reactivity in some animals while in-contact animals remain uninfected.

This study shows raccoon dogs are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and can transmit it to direct contact animals, suggesting they may act as intermediate hosts.

This study identifies contamination of commercial PCR reagents as a source of false positives in SARS-CoV-2 testing, emphasizing the need for rigorous validation of reagents before use.
