Juvenile agile frogs spatially avoid ranavirus-infected conspecifics, but do not show generalized social distancing or self-isolation

The paper shows that juvenile agile frogs avoid infected conspecifics but do not isolate themselves, suggesting spatial avoidance may reduce disease transmission while lack of self-isolation may not be pathogen-driven.

CotH genes are necessary for normal spore formation and virulence in Mucor lusitanicus

This study identifies CotH genes in Mucor lusitanicus and shows their role in spore formation, virulence, and cell wall structure through CRISPR-Cas9 disruption and infection models.

Amphibian larvae benefit from a warm environment under simultaneous threat from chytridiomycosis and ranavirosis

The study examines how elevated temperatures affect co-infection by Bd and Rv in amphibian larvae, finding that higher temperatures reduce pathogen prevalence and increase survival.

Human AdV-20-42-42, a promising novel adenoviral vector for gene therapy and vaccine product development

This paper describes the development of a novel adenoviral vector, HAdV-20-42-42, which shows promise for gene therapy and vaccination due to its low seroprevalence and effective transduction capabilities.
