Grazing protists foster zebrafish virus transmission

Katherine A. Deets, Richard T Thompson, Hannah Young, Claire E Tobin, James A. Gagnon, Nels C. Elde

The paper shows that ciliates enhance zebrafish virus transmission by concentrating viruses, but not all viruses are transmitted, suggesting selectivity.

PGE2 modulation of stimulus valence directs zebrafish behavioral fever

Bradley Cutler, Claire E Tobin, Hailey L. Hollins, Kaarthik A Balakrishnan, James A. Gagnon, Martin Haesemeyer

This study shows that PGE2 alters temperature stimulus valence in zebrafish, making heating attractive and cooling aversive, challenging the idea that fever reduces perceived warmth.
