This study investigates leptospirosis in southern sea otters, finding that 74% tested positive for Leptospira interrogans serogroup Pomona, with 70% of positive cases linked to fatal outcomes.

The paper develops a Bayesian model to aggregate NHP challenge study data and estimate SARS-CoV-1 infectious dose, enabling dose-response analysis despite limited data from individual studies.

This study quantifies how exposure route, rather than dose, influences SARS-CoV-2 infection kinetics in non-human primates using a large meta-analysis of challenge experiments.

The paper shows that the amphibian fungal pathogen Bd proliferates during winter dormancy in toads, increasing prevalence and intensity of infection.

The paper assesses the environmental stability of H5N1 influenza virus in raw milk, wastewater, and on surfaces, finding slow decay in milk suggests transmission risks.

This paper examines cross-reactivity and host species effects in serological data using MAT for Leptospira, showing that antibody titers vary by host and lab, and that high titers do not reliably indicate the infecting serovar.

The paper investigates whether maternal antibodies contribute to hemagglutinin imprinting in children exposed to influenza A viruses early in life.
