This study analyzes the genetic diversity and transmission dynamics of H1N1pdm09 swine influenza viruses in Italy using whole genome sequencing and dynamic modeling, revealing multiple introductions and limited onward transmission with some sustained clusters.

This study compares the genome of the SARS-CoV-2 XBB recombinant with its parental lineages, finding no significant expansion capability or danger.

The paper analyzes the genetic and structural features of the SARS-CoV-2 BQ.1 variant to assess its potential for epidemiological expansion and finds it lacks significant evolutionary diversification and immune escape capabilities compared to BA.5.

This study analyzes mutations in the Monkeypox virus during the 2022 outbreak, identifying six new mutations and their potential impact on host-pathogen interactions and viral fitness.

This study investigates how Spike protein mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 lambda variant may enhance immuno-escape through epitope shortening and N-glycosylation site generation.

The paper investigates whether electrostatic potential changes in the B.1.617 SARS-CoV-2 variant's spike protein RBD contribute to increased transmission by enhancing interaction with ACE2.

This study trains sniffer dogs to detect COVID-19 using sweat samples, achieving significant reliability in identifying VOCs associated with the disease.

The paper analyzes the evolution of 2019-nCoV using phylogenetic and molecular methods, finding it clusters with bat SARS-like coronaviruses and has mutations in key proteins.
