The paper identifies novel SARS-CoV-2-related viruses in Cambodian bats, revealing genetic diversity and potential zoonotic risk through receptor-binding domain analysis and pseudovirus assays.

This study identifies a novel coltivirus in a new bat bug species from Cambodia, highlighting the role of bat ectoparasites as potential reservoirs of zoonotic viruses.

The paper examines how Sarbecovirus infection affects gut microbiome stability in bats, finding consistent community shifts but stable diversity, suggesting infection-related destabilization.

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 Oxford Nanopore R9.4.1 and R10.4.1 sequencing chemistries for resolving the hemagglutinin cleavage site in avian influenza viruses, finding improved accuracy with R10.4.1.

The paper reports the detection of H5N1 AIV clade 2.3.4.4b in Chile in 2022, linked to migratory birds and showing phylogenetic similarity to Peruvian isolates.
