Origin of the H1N1 (Russian influenza) pandemic of 1977—A risk assessment using the modified Grunow–Finke tool (mGFT)

Risk Analysis, Volume 44, Issue 11, Page 2696-2706, November 2024.
Abstract In 1977, the Soviet Union (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics [USSR]) notified the World Health Organization (WHO) about an outbreak of H1N1 influenza, which later spread to many countries. The H1N1 strain of 1977 reappeared after being absent from the world for over 20 years.

Use of a risk assessment tool to determine the origin of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2)

Risk Analysis, Volume 44, Issue 8, Page 1896-1906, August 2024.
Abstract The origin of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) is contentious. Most studies have focused on a zoonotic origin, but definitive evidence such as an intermediary animal host is lacking. We used an established risk analysis tool for differentiating natural and unnatural epidemics, the modified Grunow–Finke assessment ...

Effects of two delivery matrix components, alginate and polyethylene glycol, on the intestinal tract and inflammatory response of juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 202-222, February 2024.
Abstract A critical step in the administration of oral vaccines in aquaculture is the effective protection of the vaccine antigens through the delivery route of water to stomach to the mucosal immune system in the gut. Bioactive substances can be incorporated into protective matrices to ensure safe ingestion and controlled release into the posterior ...

Protocol for the establishment and morphological characterization of long-term cultivated murine cerebral organoids

STAR Protocols
Summary: Murine cerebral organoids provide a rapid and reproducible in vitro system that recapitulates key aspects of neurogenesis. While human cerebral organoid protocols are well established, methods for non-human models remain limited.
