The paper assesses zoonotic virus risks in urban-adapted wildlife by analyzing viral diversity and zoonotic potential across seven species in 115 countries.

This study compares microbial transmission efficiency and zoonotic risk among insectivores, rodents, and bats, finding insectivores have superior transmission and higher zoonotic risk by 2035.

This study analyzes microbial diversity in insectivores, finding they host many viruses related to humans and are key in virus transmission between species.

The paper analyzes SFTSV intra-host diversity in patients with varying disease severity, finding lower diversity in severe cases despite higher viral loads and identifying iSNVs linked to replication and immunity.

This study uses Nanopore metagenomic sequencing to directly sequence the full-length HMPV genome from a UK patient, identifying a unique genetic group and demonstrating the utility of Nanopore for clinical diagnosis.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of multiple displacement amplification followed by MinION sequencing for detecting Mycobacteria DNA in sputum samples.

The paper assesses cross-talk in multiplex Nanopore MinION sequencing and finds 0.056% of reads are misassigned due to chimeric reads.
