This study investigates ZIKV infection in fetal brain tissue, identifying astrocyte immune responses and neuronal dysfunction linked to congenital Zika syndrome.

This study investigates how SIV-induced immunosuppression affects ZIKV replication and persistence in pigtail macaques, finding increased viral persistence and chronic immune activation in the gastrointestinal tract.

The paper identifies a gut microbial signature predictive of RhCMV/SIV vaccine efficacy in rhesus macaques using 16S rRNA analysis and compositional data techniques.

scPathoQuant efficiently aligns and quantifies pathogen and host reads from scRNA-seq data in a single step, enabling analysis of viral and host sequence abundance in infected cells.
