This study introduces a mathematical model to explore how nutritional resources shape the composition and stability of the human vaginal microbiota, showing that exclusive access to certain nutrients correlates with bacterial vaginosis dominance.

This study demonstrates that West Nile virus is transmitted among mosquitoes via infectious excreta, revealing a new transmission route and its epidemiological impact.

The paper shows that within-host growth traits are under strong selective pressure, leading to a selection bias towards higher virulence in multiple infections.
