The paper characterizes the pathogenicity of a newly emerged Andes virus (ANDV2026) in hamsters, showing high virulence, airborne shedding, and immune responses not previously described.

This study evaluates nasal immune cell sampling methods and antigen-specific T cell detection using cryopreserved nasal swabs, finding that flocked swabs yield more cells and cryopreservation preserves functional T cells.

This study identifies neutralizing epitopes on the measles virus fusion protein by analyzing monoclonal antibodies and their structural interactions with prefusion and postfusion conformations.

This study compares the attachment and replication efficiency of a 2022 H5N1 avian influenza virus with a 2005 strain in human respiratory epithelium, finding the 2022 virus replicates more efficiently.

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.

The paper analyzes T cell epitopes from H5N1 and seasonal influenza viruses, finding conserved epitopes and cross-reactivity, suggesting pre-existing immunity may reduce H5N1 severity.
