The mechanical arthropod vector Stomoxys calcitrans influences the outcome of lumpy skin disease virus infection in cattle

C. G. Cook, H. Munyanduki, P. C. Fay, N. Wijesiriwardana, K. Moffat, S. Gubbins, S. Armstrong, C. Batten, I. Dietrich, D. R. Greaves, K. Darpel, P. M. Beard

This study investigates how the mechanical transmission of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) by the stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans affects disease progression in cattle, finding that saliva and bite trauma accelerate disease kinetics.

Stem cell-derived macrophages as a new platform for studying host-pathogen interactions in livestock

S. Meek, T. Watson, L. Eory, G. McFarlane, F. J. Wynne, S. McCleary, L. E. M. Dunn, E. M. Charlton, C. Craig, B. Shih, T. Regan, R. M. Taylor, L. Sutherland, A. Gossner, C. Chintoan-Uta, , T. Burdon

The paper uses stem cell-derived macrophages from livestock to study host-pathogen interactions, showing they can be infected by important viruses and genetically modified.

Quantifying and modelling the acquisition and retention of lumpy skin disease virus by haematophagus insects reveals clinically but not subclinically-affected cattle are promoters of viral transmission and key targets for control of disease outbreaks.

B. Sanz-Bernardo, I. R. Haga, N. Wijesiriwardana, S. Basu, W. Larner, A. V. Diaz, Z. Langlands, E. Denison, J. Stoner, M. White, C. Sanders, P. C. Hawes, A. J. Wilson, J. Atkinson, C. Batten, , P. M. Beard

This study quantifies LSDV acquisition and retention by vector insects and models transmission, finding clinical cattle are key promoters of viral spread and highlighting the need for targeted control strategies.

An alternative AUG codon in segment 5 of the 2009 pandemic influenza A virus is a swine-derived virulence motif

H. M. Wise, E. Gaunt, J. Ping, B. Holzer, S. Jasim, S. J. Lycett, L. Murphy, A. Livesey, R. Brown, N. Smith, S. Morgan, B. Clark, K. Kudryavtseva, P. M. Beard, J. Nguyen-Van-Tam, , P. Digard

The paper identifies an alternative AUG codon in the 2009 pandemic influenza A virus as a virulence factor contributing to pathogenicity in swine and humans.

Mutation of influenza A virus PA-X decreases pathogenicity in chicken embryos and can increase the yield of reassortant candidate vaccine viruses

S. Hussain, M. L. Turnbull, H. M. Wise, B. W. Jagger, P. M. Beard, K. Kovacikova, J. K. Taubenberger, L. Vervelde, O. G. Engelhardt, P. Digard

This paper shows that mutating the PA-X gene in influenza A virus reduces pathogenicity in chicken embryos and increases HA yield in vaccine reassortant viruses.

Isolation of a natural DNA virus of Drosophila melanogaster, and characterisation of host resistance and immune responses

W. H. Palmer, N. Medd, P. M. Beard, D. J. Obbard

The paper isolates and characterizes Kallithea virus, a DNA virus of Drosophila melanogaster, and examines its impact on host survival, reproduction, and gene expression.
