Scanning transmission electron tomography to study virus assembly: Review for the retirement of Paul Walther

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract In this short and popular review, we summarise some of our findings analysing the replication cycles of large DNA viruses using scanning transmission electron tomography (STEM tomography) that we applied in the laboratory of Paul Walther. It is also a tribute to a very kind and expert scientist, who recently retired.

Managing and mitigating future public health risks: Planetary boundaries, global catastrophic risk, and inclusive wealth

open access: yesRisk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract There are two separate conceptualizations for assessing existential risks: Planetary Boundaries (PBs) and global catastrophic risks (GCRs). While these concepts are similar in principle, their underpinning literatures tend not to engage with each other.

Threatened synanthropes depend on intact forests: a critical evaluation of Moore et al. (2023)

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1444-1451, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Synanthropes are known for their remarkable adaptability to coexist with humans, yet increased visibility exposes them to significant threats, such as hunting or conflict over resources. Moore et al.'s review ‘The rise of hyperabundant native generalists threatens both humans and nature’ (https://doi.org/10.1111/brv.12985) explores ...

African swine fever vaccines

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Review of African swine fever virus vaccines as of 2021 African swine fever virus causes an acute haemorrhagic fever in domestic pigs and wild boar which is invariably fatal. Introduction of the disease into Georgia in 2007 has led to the deaths of tens of millions of animals across Eastern Europe, Asia and Oceania with serious effects on animal ...

Simultaneous Detection of Classical and African Swine Fever Viruses by Duplex Taqman Real-Time PCR Assay in Pigs Infected with Both Diseases

open access: yesPathogens
The increasing spread of African swine fever (ASF) in recent years and the presence of classical swine fever (CSF) subclinical forms in endemic countries suggests that the possibility of coinfection with ASF virus (ASFV) and CSF virus (CSFV) in pigs ...

Novel P22-monoclonal antibody based blocking ELISA for the detection of African swine fever virus antibodies in serum

open access: yesBiosafety and Health, 2022
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly infectious, transboundary viral disease of domestic and wild pigs, and is currently the most serious threat to world swine production, resulting in significant economic loss. In the absence of vaccines and treatments,

Facilitating crRNA Design by Integrating DNA Interaction Features of CRISPR‐Cas12a System

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 25, July 3, 2025.
This study introduces a novel approach combining molecular dynamics simulations and neural network modeling to predict the Cas12a trans‐cleavage activity. By integrating sequence and molecular interaction features, prediction accuracy is enhanced, and identify key features affecting Cas12a trans‐cleavage activity.

More Timely Response to Outbreaks of Zoonotic Compared to Non‐Zoonotic Diseases in Animals in Tanzania

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
A timeliness metrics analysis study was carried out in Tanzania. A total of 98 disease outbreaks were recorded. The time taken to detect, verify and respond to zoonotic diseases was shorter than the time for non‐zoonotic diseases. More investment should be done for the timely management of disease in Tanzania.

Swine fever and African swine fever [PDF]

open access: yes, 1969
PIGS may become infected by viruses which also cause disease in other animals (for instance foot-and-mouth disease) but there are two virus diseases worthy of special mention because they cause clinical disease in pigs ...
