This study investigates the stability of MPXV in bodily fluids and wastewater, finding it remains infectious in protein-rich fluids and is effectively neutralized by chlorination.

This study investigates how SARS-CoV-2 infection affects airborne transmission in Syrian hamsters, finding that viral shedding and transmission efficiency vary by host and virus factors.

This study shows that vaccination and prior infection reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission but increase Omicron competitiveness in hamsters compared to Delta.

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 infected mink develop severe respiratory disease with features similar to severe acute respiratory disease in humans.

The paper investigates Nipah virus shedding in bat roosts near human cases in Bangladesh, finding that viral RNA can be detected up to 52 days post-exposure, supporting targeted sampling for better viral ecology understanding.

This study shows that the B.1.427/1.429 (epsilon) SARS-CoV-2 variants cause more severe disease and higher viral loads in the upper respiratory tract in Syrian hamsters compared to the ancestral B.1 (614G) strain.

This study shows that airborne SARS-CoV-2 exposure causes more severe disease and efficient transmission in Syrian hamsters compared to fomite exposure.

This paper shows that K18-hACE2 mice develop severe respiratory disease upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, resembling human severe COVID-19 with lung pathology and systemic inflammation.

This study shows remdesivir reduces SARS-CoV-2 viral load and lung damage in rhesus macaques when administered early in infection.
