This paper develops new methods to measure defective interfering particle (DIP) activity in mammarenaviruses, identifying a surrogate marker of interference through glycoprotein expression loss.

This paper develops and validates two cost-effective immunoassays for detecting LCMV antibodies in mouse serum, showing high sensitivity and specificity across multiple timepoints.

This study shows diet-induced obesity in ferrets increases influenza disease severity and transmission due to altered lung microenvironment and reduced antiviral responses.

This study compares antibody profiles from maternal influenza vaccines in mice, showing LAIV and rHA provide better offspring protection than TIV.
