This study detects and characterizes coronaviruses in rodents and bats from four European countries, identifying new viral lineages and highlighting potential zoonotic risks.

The paper investigates how biodiversity and habitat changes affect pathogen communities in European forests and urban areas, finding that host diversity increases pathogen richness but urbanization reduces certain pathogens.

The paper surveys zoonotic pathogens in small mammals across a forest anthropization gradient, finding pathogen richness and community structure vary with host species, site, and urban adaptation traits.

The paper analyzes SARS-CoV-2 genomic data from Iraq during 2020-2021, identifying a high prevalence of the B.1.1.7 lineage with a stop codon mutation in ORF7a.
