This paper develops a machine learning framework to predict bluetongue outbreaks up to six months in advance using climate and surveillance data, achieving strong performance across three European countries.

This study shows that IFNE expression decreases in infants, leading to reduced antiviral activity against RSV, suggesting a role in early-life RSV susceptibility.

This study shows that ISG15-USP18 signaling limits viperin-dependent metabolic antiviral restriction by stabilizing USP18 and reducing viperin expression, thereby inhibiting viral replication.

This study assesses cold tolerance across all life stages of Culicoides nubeculosus, revealing stage-specific survival limits and sublethal effects of cold exposure.

The paper reports high seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in British deer, indicating potential reservoir capability and zoonotic risks from human-deer interactions.

The paper isolates and characterizes stable mutant mumps viruses with clustered mutations, showing their stability during passage and suggesting they are on a fitness peak.

The paper examines the impact of IFN-lambda4 on HCV diversity using host and viral genetic data from 485 patients, finding that IFN-lambda4 variants influence viral amino acid diversity and load.
