This paper introduces a high-throughput pipeline for selective mutational scanning in influenza viruses, enabling rapid assessment of variant fitness and escape potential.

This study recovers an ancient Bandavirus genome from a 1919 bat sample and identifies its modern presence in European bats, showing its ability to block interferon induction.

This study uses serosurveys to detect RNA virus-reactive antibodies in bats and rodents, revealing high seroprevalence of flavi- and paramyxoviruses in African Pteropodidae.

The paper maps ancient pathogens in Eurasia, showing zoonotic diseases emerged with livestock domestication and spread with pastoralist migrations.

The study analyzes MERS-CoV genetic diversity in Saudi Arabian dromedary camels and humans, identifying new variants with unique Spike protein polymorphisms.

The paper uses hamster sera from variant-specific infections to map antigenic differences among SARS-CoV-2 variants, revealing significant antigenic variation among Omicron subvariants.

The paper compares SARS-CoV-2 antigenicity across assays and in human and animal model sera, finding similar immunodominance patterns and antigenic maps but differences in titer magnitude and assay-specific fold change.

The paper analyzes genome sequences from the 2022 European monkeypox outbreak to identify genetic variability, including gene duplication and deletion, and their potential role in viral adaptation.
