This study uses human cerebral organoids to identify PHGDH as a key metabolic factor enabling WNV infection and a potential drug target.

This paper develops insect-specific alphavirus chimeric vaccines for chikungunya and Ross River viruses, showing efficacy in protecting against disease but no cross-protection.

This study sequences and analyzes MVEV isolates from the Ralph Doherty collection, identifies new genotypes, and establishes mouse models of MVEV disease.

This study shows that ZIKV envelope glycosylation mutants V153D and N154D, selected in Rag1-/- mice, replicate more efficiently in vitro and in organoids, suggesting N-linked glycosylation is not essential for envelope folding and trafficking.
