Recent Bovine HPAI H5N1 Isolate is Highly Virulent for Mice, Rapidly Causing Acute Pulmonary and Neurologic Disease

Thomas Tipih, Vignesh Mariappan, Claude Kwe Yinda, Kimberly D. Meade-White, Matthew C. Lewis, Atsushi Okumura, Natalie McCarthy, Ekaterina S Altynova, Shanna S. Leventhal, Trenton Bushmaker, Chad S. Clancy, Emmie de Wit, Vincent Jacobus Munster, Heinz Feldmann, Kyle Rosenke

This study compares the virulence of recent bovine and non-bovine HPAI H5N1 isolates in mice, finding the bovine isolate causes severe respiratory and neurologic disease.

Sex bias determines MERS-CoV infection outcomes in a mouse model of differential pathogenicity

Marin Habbick, Trenton Bushmaker, Reema Singh, Pryanka Sharma, Vincent Jacobus Munster, Neeltje van Doremalen, Angela L. Rasmussen

This study shows that female mice tolerate low-dose MERS-CoV infection but experience severe inflammation with high dose, while male mice have uniformly lethal outcomes regardless of dose.

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.
