This study shows H5N1 influenza virus can be transmitted vertically through placental and mammary routes in pregnant mice, causing developmental impairments in offspring.

This study shows bovine-derived H5N1 influenza virus can infect lactating sows via the mammary gland, leading to viral shedding in milk and subclinical infection in piglets without overt disease.

This paper introduces a precision-cut lung slice platform to study respiratory virus replication and disease mechanisms, showing it supports viral replication and immune responses in a physiologically relevant manner.

Omni2Tree directly analyzes raw sequencing reads to reconstruct viral phylogenies and identify diversification, outperforming assembly and reference-based methods in low-coverage scenarios.

This study shows that influenza D virus efficiently replicates in human airway cells and tissues, evades innate immune responses, and may pose a zoonotic threat.

This study shows that dairy cows infected with H5N1 virus develop durable immunity that protects against severe disease but not complete viral clearance, and provides some cross-protection against different strains.

The paper examines the receptor-binding specificity of a bovine HPAI H5N1 virus using multiple assays and finds it preferentially binds avian-type receptors.

This study examines within-host influenza A virus diversity and evolution in swine, finding low genetic diversity and evidence of purifying selection and genetic drift.

The paper detects SARS-CoV-2 infection in a significant proportion of free-ranging white-tailed deer, suggesting a potential new natural reservoir for the virus.
