Maternal Influenza A Virus Infection Induces Antiviral and Immune Dysregulation in the Placenta and Fetus Without Vertical Transmission

Maternal influenza A virus infection in pregnant pigtail macaques dysregulates placental and fetal immunity, with disease severity correlating strongly with fetal, but not placental, immune perturbations.

A single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the periventricular proliferative zone in the late gestation fetal brain in the pigtail macaque

The paper constructs a single-cell RNA-Seq atlas of the periventricular proliferative zone in late-gestation pigtail macaque fetal brain, revealing cell states similar to human fetal brain.

A single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the pigtail macaque placenta in late gestation

This study creates a single-cell RNA-Seq atlas of the pigtail macaque placenta in late gestation, revealing similarities to human placental cell populations.

Chronic innate immune impairment and ZIKV persistence in the gastrointestinal tract during SIV infection in pigtail macaques

This study investigates how SIV-induced immunosuppression affects ZIKV replication and persistence in pigtail macaques, finding increased viral persistence and chronic immune activation in the gastrointestinal tract.
