This study shows bovine-derived H5N1 influenza virus can infect lactating sows via the mammary gland, leading to viral shedding in milk and subclinical infection in piglets without overt disease.

This paper introduces a precision-cut lung slice platform to study respiratory virus replication and disease mechanisms, showing it supports viral replication and immune responses in a physiologically relevant manner.

This study shows that influenza D virus efficiently replicates in human airway cells and tissues, evades innate immune responses, and may pose a zoonotic threat.

This study shows that dairy cows infected with H5N1 virus develop durable immunity that protects against severe disease but not complete viral clearance, and provides some cross-protection against different strains.

The paper identifies transposon exonization as a mechanism regulating interferon signaling by generating functional variants of immune genes, including a decoy receptor that inhibits interferon signaling.
