COMPARISON BETWEEN SANGER, ILLUMINA AND NANOPORE SEQUENCING EVIDENCING INTRA-HOST VARIATION OF FELINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS THAT INFECTS DOMESTIC CATS.

The paper compares Sanger, Illumina, and Oxford Nanopore sequencing methods for detecting intra-host variation of FeLV in cats, finding each method has distinct advantages and limitations.

Sarbecoviruses of British Horseshoe Bats; Sequence Variation and Epidemiology

The paper tests for sarbecoviruses in British horseshoe bats, finding widespread infection in R. hipposideros but not R. ferrumequinum, and no evidence of human-to-bat transmission.

Sensitivity of Listeria monocytogenes to lysozyme predicts ability to proliferate in bovine caruncular epithelial cells

This study shows that Listeria monocytogenes isolates with higher lysozyme resistance are more capable of proliferating in bovine caruncular epithelial cells.
