Potential pandemic risk of circulating swine H1N2 influenza viruses

The paper assesses the pandemic risk of swine H1N2 influenza viruses by analyzing their transmission potential and immune response in ferrets.

Ventilation does not affect influenza virus transmission efficiency in a ferret playpen setup

This study shows that ventilation rates do not affect influenza virus transmission efficiency in a ferret playpen setup with close-range interactions and fomites.

Detection of Influenza virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae in air sampled from co-infected ferrets and analysis of their influence on pathogen stability

This study detects influenza virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae in air samples from co-infected ferrets and assesses their impact on pathogen stability in expelled droplets.

Environmental Stability of Enveloped Viruses is Impacted by the Initial Volume and Evaporation Kinetics of Droplets

This study examines how droplet volume and humidity affect the environmental stability of enveloped viruses, finding that virus decay is more similar at higher humidity and in smaller droplets.

Coinfection of Streptococcus pneumoniae reduces airborne transmission of influenza virus

This study shows that coinfection with Streptococcus pneumoniae reduces airborne transmission of influenza virus by decreasing viral shedding in the upper respiratory tract of ferrets.

Distinct Microbes, Metabolites, and Ecologies Define the Microbiome in Deficient and Proficient Mismatch Repair Colorectal Cancers

The paper identifies distinct microbial, metabolic, and ecological differences between deficient and proficient mismatch repair colorectal cancers using microbiome and metabolomic analyses.
