This study shows a BoHV-4 vaccine vector protects calves with maternal antibodies against BRSV, even without high neutralizing antibody levels.

This study shows bovine H5N1 influenza viruses have adapted to efficiently use NeuGc receptors in cattle, enhancing replication without significantly altering zoonotic risk.

This study shows that the mammalian-adaptive PB2-E627K mutation in H5N1 HPAIV maintains viral fitness in avian hosts, increasing zoonotic risk.

The paper detects H5N1 avian influenza in ratites and identifies mammalian-relevant mutations, suggesting potential zoonotic risk.

This study infects alpacas with Influenza C and D viruses, showing subclinical upper respiratory tract infection and suggesting a potential role for camelids in virus ecology.

This study inoculates hens with H7N7-LPAIV precursors to model how they lead to H7N7-HPAIV outbreaks, showing partial protection but not complete prevention of H7N7-HPAIV replication.

This study shows pigeons are not easily infected by H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b virus and cannot transmit it to other birds or chickens.

The paper reports the first detection of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 HPAIV in a sheep in Great Britain, highlighting the zoonotic potential and implications for interspecies transmission.

This study investigates the factors driving the shift in dominance from H5N8 to H5N1 HPAIVs in wild birds, finding that viral pathogenicity and immune responses differ between subtypes.

This study compares immune responses and pathogenesis in pigs infected with two porcine respiratory coronavirus strains, finding that a more severe strain induces stronger inflammation and immune responses linked to pneumonia.

This study evaluates the increased pathogenicity and zoonotic potential of an H7N9 LPAIV variant in turkeys, showing enhanced virulence and transmission risks.

This study reports an unusual mortality event in captive bush dogs caused by avian-origin H5N1 influenza A virus.
