Concomitant Human Infections with 2 Cowpox Virus Strains in Related Cases, France, 2011
We investigated 4 related human cases of cowpox virus infection reported in France during 2011. Three patients were infected by the same strain, probably transmitted by imported pet rats, and the fourth patient was infected by another strain.

Detection of Vaccinia Virus in Urban Domestic Cats, Brazil
We investigated possible vaccinia virus (VACV) in urban house cats in Brazil. Serum samples from 6 cats were positive for VACV by PCR, indicating likely VACV circulation among house cats in urban areas of Brazil. This finding highlights the importance of

Molecular Detection and Characterization of the First Cowpox Virus Isolate Derived from a Bank Vole
Cowpox virus (CPXV) is a zoonotic orthopoxvirus (OPV) that infects a wide range of mammals. CPXV-specific DNA and antibodies were detected in different vole species, such as common voles (Microtus arvalis) and bank voles (Myodes glareolus).

Spatiotemporal Regulation of STING Activity by Linear Ubiquitination Governs Antiviral Immunity
This study uncovers a spatiotemporal regulation of STING activity by linear ubiquitination in antiviral immunity. At the early stage of the infection, LUBAC promotes STING linear ubiquitination to drive its trafficking from the ER to the Golgi apparatus for activation.

Genome‐Wide Insights and Polygenic Risk Scores in Common Epilepsies: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT The research of single gene‐related disorders or pathogenic copy‐number variations (CNVs) has given a significant impetus to the shift from a diagnostic work‐up focused on epileptic syndromes to genomic approaches in individuals with severe pediatric‐onset epilepsies and in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.
