Evaluation of the safety and insecticidal efficacy of ivermectin-treated bird feed formulations in different avian species

This study evaluates the safety and insecticidal efficacy of ivermectin-treated bird feed in avian species to control West Nile virus vectors.

SARS-CoV-2 within-host population expansion, diversification and adaptation in zoo tigers, lions and hyenas

This study tracks SARS-CoV-2 evolution in zoo tigers, lions, and hyenas, identifying adaptive mutations and selection pressures during cross-species transmission.

Investigation of Powassan virus lineage II pathogenesis and neurotropism in mice

This study investigates POWV lineage II pathogenesis in mice, finding that distinct disease phenotypes arise from genetic variations beyond nonsynonymous mutations.

Development of ENTV reverse genetics system and phenotypic evaluation of rescued virus reveals host-specific replication patterns in mosquitoes

This study develops an ENTV infectious clone and evaluates its replication in mosquito cells and mosquitoes, revealing host-specific replication patterns and midgut barriers to transmission.

SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in lions, tigers and hyenas at Denver Zoo

This study examines a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in lions, tigers, and hyenas at Denver Zoo, finding lions had higher viral RNA levels and recrudescence, and all animals were infected by a rare human lineage.

A single-cell atlas of the Culex tarsalis midgut during West Nile virus infection

This study creates a single-cell atlas of Culex tarsalis midgut cells during West Nile virus infection, revealing cell-type-specific differences in viral replication and immune responses.
