Enabling metagenomic surveillance for bacterial tick-borne pathogens using nanopore sequencing with adaptive sampling

This paper demonstrates the use of nanopore adaptive sampling to selectively sequence bacterial tick-borne pathogens from Ixodes scapularis ticks, increasing targeted pathogen sequences by two-fold.

Molecular surveillance of zoonotic bacterial pathogens in farm dwelling peridomestic rodents across the upper Midwest, USA

This study surveys zoonotic bacterial pathogens in farm rodents using metagenomics, finding multiple foodborne pathogens in various rodent species and shrews.

Integrating indigenous knowledge, ontology, and molecular barcoding to characterize spider monkey (Ateles paniscus) filariasis

The paper integrates indigenous knowledge, ontology, and molecular barcoding to characterize a filarial nematode in spider monkeys, finding it non-zoonotic and consistent with local beliefs.
