Stability of mpox (monkeypox) virus in bodily fluids and wastewater

C. K. Yinda, D. H. Morris, R. Fischer, S. Gallogly, Z. Weishampel, J. R. Port, T. Bushmaker, J. E. Schulz, K. Bibby, N. van Doremalen, J. O. Lloyd-Smith, V. Munster

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.

Variability in donor lung culture and relative humidity impact the stability of 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus on nonporous surfaces

Z. Qian, D. H. Morris, A. Avery, K. Kormuth, L. S. M. Valerie, M. M. Myerburg, J. O. Lloyd-Smith, L. Marr, S. Lakdawala

This study examines how donor lung culture variability and relative humidity affect the stability of H1N1pdm09 virus on nonporous surfaces, finding that donor differences impact persistence more than surface material.

Host and viral determinants of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the Syrian hamster

J. R. Port, D. H. Morris, J. C. Riopelle, C. K. Yinda, V. A. Avanzato, M. G. Holbrook, T. Bushmaker, J. E. Schulz, T. A. Saturday, K. Barbian, C. A. Russel, R. Perry-Gottschalk, C. I. Shaia, C. Martens, J. O. Lloyd-Smith, , V. J. Munster

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.

Mechanistic theory predicts the effects of temperature and humidity on inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 and other enveloped viruses

D. H. Morris, K. C. H. Yinda, A. Gamble, F. W. Rossine, Q. Huang, T. Bushmaker, R. J. Fischer, M. J. Matson, N. van Doremalen, P. J. Vikesland, L. C. Marr, V. Munster, J. O. Lloyd-Smith

The paper develops a mechanistic model to predict how temperature and humidity affect the inactivation rate of SARS-CoV-2 and other enveloped viruses.

Heat-treated virus inactivation rate depends strongly on treatment procedure: illustration with SARS-CoV-2

A. Gamble, R. J. Fischer, D. H. Morris, K. C. Yinda, V. J. Munster, J. O. Lloyd-Smith

This study shows that heat treatment of SARS-CoV-2 in liquid specimens varies greatly depending on the container used, with closed vials incurring much faster inactivation than uncovered plates.

Asynchrony between virus diversity and antibody selection limits influenza virus evolution

D. H. Morris, V. N. Petrova, F. W. Rossine, E. Parker, B. T. Grenfell, R. Neher, S. A. Levin, C. A. Russell

The paper shows that the timing mismatch between virus growth and antibody selection limits antigenic evolution within hosts, explaining global selectivity and local neutrality in influenza.
