This study uses shotgun metagenomics to show that the gut microbiome of insectivorous bats remains stable during temporary managed care, with minimal changes in microbial composition.

The paper investigates BTV RNA segment interactions and shows that genome assembly is independent of VP6 and NS2, relying instead on RNA-RNA interactions.

This study compares host metabolic and signaling responses to SARS-CoV-2 variants, finding that Omicron causes a more restrained response compared to pre-Omicron variants.

The paper identifies a novel vesiculovirus, Mediterranean bat virus (MBV), circulating in bats across the Mediterranean region using a new RT-qPCR method and genomic analysis.
