This study uses portable metagenomics to identify diverse pathogens in diarrhoeal samples from Burundi, revealing that many suspected cholera cases are caused by other bacteria like Escherichia coli.

This study shows Rift Valley fever virus lineage C circulates persistently in Rwanda through local transmission, not repeated introductions, based on whole-genome sequencing of livestock samples from 2022-2025.

The paper uses single-cell metagenomics to link plasmid-derived antimicrobial resistance to host bacteria in pigs, identifying resistance-associated features in longitudinal gut microbiome data.

This study examines how ceftiofur antibiotic treatment and E. coli inoculation affect the calf fecal microbiome using shotgun metagenomics and single-cell sequencing.

This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze plasmidome and resistome in chicken fecal samples, revealing ARGs associated with 26 antibiotic classes and their dynamic spread.

This study uses sewage metagenomics to distinguish seasonal, human-derived, and environmental microbial communities, offering potential for improved AMR surveillance.

ListPred predicts virulence potential and disinfectant tolerance in Listeria monocytogenes using WGS data with minimal computational resources and expertise.

This paper develops a random forest model to predict plasmid hosts, achieving 0.662 and 0.867 Matthews correlation coefficients at species and order levels, respectively.
