This study shows that sex differences in vaccine-induced neuraminidase (NA) antibody responses affect H5N1 virus dissemination in mice, with females showing better protection against lower respiratory tract infection.

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 infects pregnant mice with Plasmodium berghei at different gestational stages to investigate how placental malaria affects perinatal outcomes and identifies immune and hormonal changes associated with adverse effects.

This study shows that influenza A virus suppresses progesterone in pregnant mice, leading to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, which can be mitigated by progestin treatment.
