This study shows selenium deficiency in mice increases viral mutation diversity and generates mutations seen in SARS-CoV-2 pandemic variants.

This study benchmarks four concentration and extraction methods for detecting eight respiratory viruses in wastewater using dPCR, showing method-specific sensitivity and recovery efficiency.

The paper compares plaque formation of ZIKV strains on Vero and Vero/TMPRSS2 cells, finding that Vero/TMPRSS2 cells produce more visible and distinct plaques.

The paper shows that passaging SARS-CoV-2 viral stocks under antiserum selection pressure increases genetic diversity and antibody escape mutations, making them more representative of circulating viruses.
