The paper rebuts a critique by showing that re-analyzed data supports the original findings that the transmissible cancer in Tasmanian devils has transitioned to endemism.

This study examines how a transmissible cancer in Tasmanian devils affected breeding strategies and survival, finding no continued increase in precocial breeding or inbreeding depression.

This review identifies potential vertebrate hosts of Japanese encephalitis virus in Australia using host competence scores and ecological data, highlighting gaps in evidence for spillover and maintenance hosts.

The paper shows that periodic increases in viral load during high prevalence periods in bats correlate with spillover events, suggesting viral load is a better predictor of transmission risk than prevalence alone.
