This study uses Pichinde virus to model arenavirus infection during pregnancy, showing placental infection and fetal demise while highlighting antiviral responses.

This study shows CD4+ T cells are critical for preventing severe congenital cytomegalovirus infection in guinea pigs, while CD8+ T cell depletion increases placental viral load without affecting disease severity.

The paper presents an improved reference genome for Przewalski's horse using Oxford Nanopore sequencing, revealing methylation patterns and imprinted genes relevant to conservation.
