Evolution, Safety, and Highly Pathogenic Influenza Viruses [PDF]
Science, 2012 Experience with influenza has shown that predictions of virus phenotype or fitness from nucleotide sequence are imperfect and that predicting the timing and course of evolution is extremely difficult. Such uncertainty means that the risk of experiments with mammalian-transmissible, possibly highly virulent influenza viruses remains high even if some ...

Shigella: A Highly Virulent and Elusive Pathogen [PDF]
Current Tropical Medicine Reports, 2014 Despite a significant decrease in Shigella-related mortality, shigellosis continues to carry a significant burden of disease worldwide, particularly in Asia and Africa. Shigella is a highly virulent pathogen comprised of four major species with numerous subtypes.

Mammal mitogenomics from invertebrate‐derived DNA
Environmental DNA, 2023 The metabarcoding of vertebrate DNA found in invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) has proven a powerful tool for monitoring biodiversity. To date, iDNA has primarily been used to detect the presence/absence of particular taxa using metabarcoding, though ...

Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against highly pathogenic coronaviruses
Current Opinion in Virology, 2022 The pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a continuing worldwide threat to human health and social economy. Historically, SARS-CoV-2 follows SARS and MERS as the third coronavirus spreading across borders and continents, but far more dangerous with long-lasting ...

Immune clearance of highly pathogenic SIV infection [PDF]
Nature, 2013 Established infections with the human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV, respectively) are thought to be permanent with even the most effective immune responses and antiretroviral therapies only able to control, but not clear, these infections.
