The ORF6 accessory protein contributes to SARS-CoV-2 virulence and pathogenicity in the naturally susceptible feline model of infection

Mohammed Nooruzzaman, Salman Latif Butt, Ruchi Rani, C.H. Ye, Andrew D. Miller, Luis Martínez‐Sobrido, Yīng Fāng, Diego G. Diel

This study shows that deleting ORF6 from SARS-CoV-2 reduces virulence and pathogenicity in cats, with decreased immune suppression and reduced viral replication.

From birds to mammals: spillover of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus to dairy cattle led to efficient intra- and interspecies transmission

Leonardo Cardia Caserta, Elisha Frye, Salman Latif Butt, Melissa A. Laverack, Mohammed Nooruzzaman, Lina M. Covaleda, Alexis C. Thompson, Melanie Prarat Koscielny, Brittany D. Cronk, Ashley E. Johnson, Katie E. Kleinhenz, Erin E. Edwards, Gabriel Gomez, Gavin R. Hitchener, Mathias Martins, , Diego G. Diel

This study reports the spillover of HPAI H5N1 virus to dairy cattle, showing efficient intra- and interspecies transmission and viral tropism in mammary gland epithelial cells.
