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.

The paper uses Approximate Bayesian Computation to analyze USUTU virus transmission in wildlife, showing that multiple bird species, not just blackbirds, contribute to its spread.

This study uses serosurveys to detect RNA virus-reactive antibodies in bats and rodents, revealing high seroprevalence of flavi- and paramyxoviruses in African Pteropodidae.

The paper documents the emergence and dynamics of Usutu and West Nile viruses in the Netherlands from 2016 to 2022, showing USUV's enzootic maintenance and WNV's early establishment with no bird mortality.
