Using serosurveys to optimize surveillance for zoonotic pathogens

E. Clancey, S. L. Nuismer, S. N. Seifert

This paper develops a statistical model using serosurveillance data to predict peak pathogen prevalence in wildlife reservoirs, improving the timing of field sampling for zoonotic pathogens.

Viral genomic features predict orthopoxvirus reservoir hosts

K. K. Tseng, H. Koehler, D. J. Becker, R. Gibb, C. J. Carlson, M. d. P. Fernandez, S. N. Seifert

The paper uses machine learning to predict orthopoxvirus reservoir hosts by integrating viral genomic features and host ecological data, identifying high-risk regions for zoonotic OPV emergence.

An ACE2-dependent Sarbecovirus in Russian bats is resistant to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines

S. N. Seifert, S. Bai, S. Fawcett, E. B. Norton, K. J. Zwezdaryk, J. Robinson, B. Gunn, M. C. Letko

A bat sarbecovirus uses the same cell entry route as SARS-CoV-2 but escapes vaccine immunity, highlighting the need for broader vaccines.

Mammal virus diversity estimates are unstable due to accelerating discovery effort

R. Gibb, G. F. Albery, N. F. Mollentze, E. A. Eskew, L. Brierley, S. J. Ryan, S. N. Seifert, C. J. Carlson

The paper shows that estimates of viral diversity in mammals are unstable due to increasing discovery rates, making ecological inferences unreliable.

Lek-associated movement of a putative Ebolavirus reservoir, the Hammer-headed fruit bat (Hypsignathus monstrosus), in northern Republic of Congo

S. H. Olson, G. Bounga, A. Ondzie, T. Bushmaker, S. N. Seifert, E. Kuisma, D. W. Taylor, V. J. Munster, C. Walzer

This study tracks hammer-headed fruit bats to understand their movement patterns and supports the site as a lek, with males showing stronger association than females.
