A dynamic, climate-driven model of Rift Valley fever [PDF]
Outbreaks of Rift Valley fever (RVF) in eastern Africa have previously occurred following specific rainfall dynamics and flooding events that appear to support the emergence of large numbers of mosquito vectors.

This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

Failure to remove bluetongue serotype 8 virus (BTV-8) from in vitro produced and in vivo derived bovine embryos and subsequent transmission of BTV-8 to recipient cows after embryo transfer [PDF]
The behavior of BTV-8 in cattle is different from most other serotypes not only with regards to clinical signs but certainly with respect to virus transmission (transplacental, contact). Therefore, the possibility of virus transmission by means of embryo

Peruvian frogs underwent a climate‐driven range expansion into deglaciating mountains, exposing themselves and their fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) to challenging new thermal environments. Bd has dispersed extensively in these new habitats, and elevation may mediate the apparent sublethal impacts of infection for frogs.
