This study examines microbiome-virus interactions across Drosophila species, finding that specific bacterial taxa influence viral load but microbiome composition shows limited phylogenetic structuring.

The paper investigates the emergence of the influenza A/H3N2 K subclade, finding limited antigenic change and age-dependent vaccine responses, suggesting non-antigenic selection pressures.

This study shows that avian H5N1 viruses can infect mammary tissue from three cattle breeds, highlighting the risk of viral transmission through milk and the need for cattle inclusion in H5N1 surveillance.

This study investigates how bacterial phylogeny influences virulence and phage efficacy in vivo, finding phylogenetic patterns in virulence but not in phage efficacy, and no correlation between in vitro and in vivo phage efficacy.

This study identifies H5 influenza virus infections in vampire bats, showing their potential to spread the virus between marine and terrestrial ecosystems.

This study shows macrophages reduce bacteriophage efficacy and increase bacterial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa during phage therapy.

The paper examines susceptibility to four bacterial pathogens across 36 Drosophilidae species, finding strong phylogenetic signal in susceptibility, particularly for Providencia rettgeri.
