Jamaican fruit bats are susceptible to henipaviruses but rapidly control infection

Julianne Bullock, Brown Bulloch, Arthur Wickenhagen, Shane Gallogly, Franziska Karola Kaiser, Jonathan E. Schulz, Trenton Bushmaker, Reshma Koolaparambil Mukesh, Brandi N. Williamson, Kailin Hawes, Anthony McBain, Jessica Prado-Smith, Chad S. Clancy, Brian J. Smith, Julia Rebecca Port, , Sarah van Tol

This study shows Jamaican fruit bats are susceptible to henipaviruses but rapidly control infection following oral exposure.

Highly efficient anogenital transmission of clade Ia mpox virus associated with increased shedding.

Franziska Karola Kaiser, Reshma Koolaparambil Mukesh, Shane Gallogly, Jonathan E. Schulz, Sarah van Tol, Natalie McCarthy, Missiani Ochwoto, Claude Kwe Yinda, Atsushi Okumura, Lara M. Myers, Aaron Carmody, Brian J. Smith, Greg A. Saturday, Carl Shaia, Kyle Rosenke, , Vincent Jacobus Munster

This study investigates mpox virus transmission in prairie dogs, finding that anogenital mucosal routes lead to high shedding and efficient transmission.

Jamaican fruit bats (Artibeus jamaicensis) competence for Ebola virus but not Marburg virus is driven by intrinsic differences in viral entry and IFN-I signaling antagonism.

Sarah van Tol, Julia Rebecca Port, Robert J. Fischer, Shane Gallogly, Trenton Bushmaker, Amanda Griffin, Jonathan E. Schulz, Aaron Carmody, Lara M. Myers, Daniel E. Crowley, Caylee Falvo, Jade C. Riopelle, Arthur Wickenhagen, Chad S. Clancy, Jamie Lovaglio, , Vincent Jacobus Munster

This study shows Jamaican fruit bats can support EBOV replication and shedding but not MARV, due to differences in viral entry and IFN-I signaling suppression.

Evolution of Omicron lineage towards increased fitness in the upper respiratory tract in the absence of severe lung pathology

Arthur Wickenhagen, Meaghan Flagg, Julia Rebecca Port, Claude Kwe Yinda, Kerry Goldin, Shane Gallogly, Jonathan E. Schulz, Tessa R. Lutterman, Brandi N. Williamson, Franziska Karola Kaiser, Reshma Koolaparambil Mukesh, Sarah van Tol, Brian J. Smith, Neeltje van Doremalen, Colin A. Russell, , Vincent Jacobus Munster

This study evaluates the fitness and pathogenesis of Omicron variants in the upper and lower respiratory tracts, finding increased URT fitness with reduced lung pathology.
