The study compares contact transmissibility of human, bovine, and mountain lion H5N1 isolates in Syrian hamsters, finding human isolate has higher contact transmissibility despite limited overall transmission.

This study shows that female mice tolerate low-dose MERS-CoV infection but experience severe inflammation with high dose, while male mice have uniformly lethal outcomes regardless of dose.

This study compares the tissue tropism of two HPAI H5N1 isolates in mice, finding that the bovine isolate replicates in the brain and causes more neurotropism and inflammation than the human isolate.

This study evaluates the fitness and pathogenesis of Omicron variants in the upper and lower respiratory tracts, finding increased URT fitness with reduced lung pathology.

This study demonstrates limited MERS-CoV transmission via aerosol, fomite, and direct contact in a transgenic human DPP4 mouse model.

This study evaluates a bivalent Adenovirus-Vectored Vaccine in cynomolgus macaques against Sudan virus, finding it induces humoral responses but does not confer protection against lethal challenge.

This study compares SARS-CoV-2 replication in rhesus macaques after intranasal inoculation or aerosol exposure, finding differences in respiratory tract involvement.
