H5N5 virus transmission is driven by repeated cross-Atlantic introductions and transmission among high latitude seabirds

Clara R. Malekshahi, Nicole St. Clair Knobloch, Alvin Crespo Bellido…·Louise H. Moncla

This study shows H5N5 viruses have been repeatedly introduced across the Atlantic by high latitude seabirds, with more frequent introductions in fall and spring, and a distinct ecology from H5N1.

Short-term alterations in dietary amino acids override host genetic susceptibility and reveal mechanisms of Salmonella Typhimurium small intestine colonization

Nicolas G. Shealy, Madi Baltagulov, Camila de Brito…·Mariana Xavier Byndloss

The paper shows that a diet rich in L-amino acids overrides genetic resistance in mice, promoting Salmonella Typhimurium ileal colonization through microbiota-dependent mechanisms.
