Establishment of Humanized EFNB2/B3 Murine Models for Investigating Nipah Virus Pathogenesis
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nipah virus (NiV) is a zoonotic paramyxovirus classified as a WHO priority pathogen, which causes severe respiratory disease and encephalitis in humans with high mortality. Currently, no licensed vaccines or specific antiviral therapies are available.

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 We investigated the infection dynamics of 2 influenza A(H1N1) virus isolates from the swine 1A.3.3.2 (pandemic 2009) and 1C (Eurasian, avian-like) lineages. The 1C-lineage virus, A/Pavia/65/2016, although phylogenetically related to swine-origin viruses,

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.Abstract Uveal melanoma (UM) is a deadly ocular malignancy with well‐described genetic alterations that predict disease outcome. However, our current understanding of the biological underpinnings of high‐risk uveal melanoma progression remains relatively limited. Using RNA expression profiles from 250 patients with UM, we identified 12 novel biomarkers

Genetic Characterization of Coronaviruses from Domestic Ferrets, Japan
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 We detected ferret coronaviruses in 44 (55.7%) of 79 pet ferrets tested in Japan and classified the viruses into 2 genotypes on the basis of genotype-specific PCR. Our results show that 2 ferret coronaviruses that cause feline infectious peritonitis–like

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agricultural intensification is a key driver of soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and the progressive degradation of ecosystems, increasing the urgency for transformative agricultural models. Regenerative agriculture (RA) has emerged as a promising solution by integrating ecological principles with long‐term economic viability to restore ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study proposes two contrasting scenarios for how host infectiousness is determined: recipient dependence and donor dependence. These scenarios fundamentally alter how host heterogeneity shapes parasite transmission, demonstrating that the process by which infectiousness is determined is crucial for understanding the consequences of host ...
