Material-specific quarantine durations for SARS-CoV-2 inactivation on musical instruments and music-related materials

This study determines SARS-CoV-2 inactivation times on musical materials, showing variability based on porosity and composition, with non-porous surfaces clearing virus in 3 days and porous ones requiring up to 7 days.

Newly identified genomic sequences establish benchmarks for proposed taxonomic classification of jingmenviruses

The paper establishes classification criteria for jingmenviruses using genomic sequences from metagenomics data to define species demarcation thresholds.

Molecular Xenomonitoring (MX) allows real-time surveillance of West Nile and Usutu virus in mosquito populations.

The paper introduces Molecular Xenomonitoring (MX) to detect West Nile and Usutu viruses in mosquito populations, showing it can identify viral circulation before human cases.

Detection of porcine enteric viruses (Kobuvirus, Mamastrovirus and Sapelovirus) in domestic pigs in Corsica, France

The paper detects three porcine enteric viruses (PKoV, PAstV-1, and PSV) in Corsican pig farms using RT-qPCR and NGS, showing high prevalence and age-related differences.

Use of Next Generation Sequencing to study two Cowpoxvirus outbreaks

This paper uses next-generation sequencing to analyze cowpox virus outbreaks in humans and cats, finding high clonality in a human outbreak and partial transmission in a feline outbreak.
