Widespread occurrence of bovine-like and new viruses in wild deer across the United States

The paper identifies diverse viruses in wild deer across the U.S., including known pathogens and new putative viruses, highlighting potential for pathogen spillover.

Bat things come in threes: within-host dynamics of herpesvirus triple infection in bats

This study examines herpesvirus triple infections in bats, finding high genetic diversity, frequent co-infections, and age-related differences in viral diversity.

Role of individual and population heterogeneity in shaping dynamics of multi-pathogen shedding in an island endemic bat

This study examines shedding dynamics of multiple pathogens in bats, finding high prevalence and co-shedding, with patterns influenced by age and reproductive periods.

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.

Stuck on a small tropical island: wide in-situ diversification of an urban-dwelling bat

The paper studies the evolutionary history and genetic structure of an urban-dwelling bat species on Reunion Island, finding no spatial genetic structure and suggesting in-situ diversification and ancient population expansion.
