Evaluation of an H5 influenza virus mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccine in lactating dairy cows

This study evaluates an H5 mRNA-LNP vaccine in lactating dairy cows, finding it reduces viral replication and disease in mammary glands.

A Wildlife Health Outbreak Response Table-top Exercise for Pandemic Preparedness Planning

This paper describes a table-top exercise to evaluate multi-agency response to a hypothetical zoonotic disease outbreak and identifies challenges and recommendations for improving cross-agency coordination.

Discovery of a novel bandavirus using metagenomic sequencing in a retrospective analysis of an unresolved 2020 mortality event involving black vultures in the northeastern United States.

The paper identifies a novel bandavirus as the likely cause of a 2020 black vulture mortality event using metagenomic sequencing.

Birds affected by a 2021 avian mortality event are strongly associated with supplemental feeding and ground foraging behaviors

The paper investigates factors associated with a 2021 avian mortality event, finding that birds consuming supplemental feed and ground foragers were significantly represented in affected samples.

Metagenomics for pathogen detection during a wildlife mortality event in songbirds

The paper uses metagenomic sequencing to investigate a wildlife mortality event in songbirds, finding no single pathogen but highlighting the utility of metagenomics in such investigations.
