Zoonotic Host Richness in the Global Wildland–Urban Interface
In the wildland–urban interface (WUI), where human settlements abut or intermix with wildlands, people may encounter animals that host zoonotic pathogens, which can spillover to cause human disease. We map the distribution of zoonotic hosts in the global WUI and show that large populations in tropical low–middle‐income countries (LMICs) are potentially

The Interplay Between Viral Infection and Cell Death: A Ping‐Pong Effect
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a well‐studied cellular mechanism that plays a critical role in immune responses, developmental processes, and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. However, viruses have developed diverse strategies to bypass or manipulate the host apoptotic machinery to enhance their replication and survival.

Simian hemorrhagic fever virus infection of rhesus macaques as a model of viral hemorrhagic fever: Clinical characterization and risk factors for severe disease [PDF]
Simian Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (SHFV) has caused sporadic outbreaks of hemorrhagic fevers in macaques at primate research facilities. SHFV is a BSL-2 pathogen that has not been linked to human disease; as such, investigation of SHFV pathogenesis in non ...
