This study investigates SARS-CoV-2 neuroinvasive and neurovirulent potential in ferrets with mild respiratory disease, finding limited neuroinvasion but evidence of neurovirulence through microglial and astrocytic changes.

This paper develops tetracistronic minigenomes for henipaviruses to model their life cycle outside high biocontainment, revealing Cedar virus replicase promiscuity and functional GhV replicase with antiviral efficacy.
