The paper designs a synthetic consensus IFN-β for bats that induces IFN-I signaling across diverse bat species, enabling study of antiviral immunity.

This study identifies NONO as a host factor that epigenetically regulates DPP4 expression, facilitating MERS-CoV replication by modulating histone modifications at the DPP4 locus.

This study investigates mpox virus transmission in prairie dogs, finding that anogenital mucosal routes lead to high shedding and efficient transmission.

This study shows Jamaican fruit bats can support EBOV replication and shedding but not MARV, due to differences in viral entry and IFN-I signaling suppression.

This study investigates amino acid acquisition pathways in Borrelia burgdorferi, revealing that peptide and free amino acid transport are essential for growth and motility but dispensable during tick colonization.
