Arenavirus and hantavirus surveillance in small mammals tracks night-lights and accessibility; after adjusting for effort, fast-lived and synanthropic species are somewhat more often detected as hosts.

The paper investigates factors determining effective reassortment in orthohantaviruses, finding that ecological overlap and molecular compatibility are key for reassortant establishment.

This study compares the susceptibility of Old World and New World bat cell lines to Zika virus, finding that Old World bat cells support viral replication and strong inflammatory responses.

The paper reports the first Sin Nombre virus genome sequences from the Northwestern United States and voles, revealing high prevalence and evidence of viral reassortment.

This paper proposes the development of a database (ArHa) integrating host-pathogen dynamics and human disease data for Arenaviruses and Hantaviruses to improve risk assessments and public health interventions.

The paper identifies a new influenza A subtype H18N12 in bats from Colombia, based on genetic analysis of viral sequences and phylogenetic studies.

The paper analyzes SARS-CoV-2 genomic data from Colombia to study variant transmission dynamics and the impact of control measures during the first two years of the pandemic.
