Climate Anomalies and Spillover of Bat-Borne Viral Diseases in the Asia–Pacific Region and the Arabian Peninsula

Viruses, 2022
Climate variability and anomalies are known drivers of the emergence and outbreaks of infectious diseases. In this study, we investigated the potential association between climate factors and anomalies, including El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and ...

Real‐time fluorometric isothermal assays for detection of Streptococcus equi subspecies equi and Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus in horses: Validation, comparison and evaluation of their clinical application

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 158-166, March 2026.
Infectious diseases significantly impact equine health and welfare, causing illness and death, and loss of productivity globally. One such disease is ‘strangles’, a highly contagious upper respiratory condition in horses caused by Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (SEE).

Evidence of endemic Hendra virus infection in flying-foxes (Pteropus conspicillatus)--implications for disease risk management. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
This study investigated the seroepidemiology of Hendra virus in a spectacled flying-fox (Pteropus conspicillatus) population in northern Australia, near the location of an equine and associated human Hendra virus infection in late 2004.

Skin Colour in Salamanders Is Modulated by Both Epitranscriptomic Methylation and Gene Expression

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Animal colouration is a key trait in organismal biology, being involved in natural and sexual selection, competition, and communication. Amphibians use their highly diverse colouration in many ecological interactions, but the molecular bases of their colour variation are less well understood than in other vertebrate systems. While the genetic,

ZNRD2 Mediated Nucleoprotein Aggregation Impairs Respiratory Syncytial Virus Replication

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 12, 27 February 2026.
During RSV infection, nucleoprotein (N) forms RNA‐bound oligomers. The host protein ZNRD2 binds to these oligomers, promoting their transition into insoluble aggregates. These aggregates simultaneously sequester functional N to restrict viral production and disrupt chaperonin assembly quality control by interfering with ZNRD2's role as an adaptor ...

A general framework for modeling pathogen transmission in co‐roosting host communities

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Cross‐species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross‐species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co‐roost is unknown.

This could be the start of something big—20 years since the identification of bats as the natural host of Hendra virus

One Health, 2015
Hendra virus was first described in 1994 in Australia, causally associated with a cluster of fatal equine and human cases at a thoroughbred racing stable in the Brisbane suburb of Hendra. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the identification of

Structural Insights Into the Nuclear Import of Gallid Alphaherpesvirus 1 Large Tegument Protein

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
The study identifies and characterizes a bipartite nuclear localization signal within the GaAHV‐1 UL36 large tegument protein, revealing its structural interaction with importin α/β1 and confirming a conserved mechanism of nuclear import through biochemical, crystallographic, and mutational analyses.
