Evolution, Safety, and Highly Pathogenic Influenza Viruses [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 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 ...

Comparative virome analysis of individual shedding routes of Miniopterus phillipsi bats inhabiting the Wavul Galge cave, Sri Lanka

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Bats are described as the natural reservoir host for a wide range of viruses. Although an increasing number of bat-associated, potentially human pathogenic viruses were discovered in the past, the full picture of the bat viromes is not explored yet.

Detection of Alpha- and Betacoronaviruses in Miniopterus fuliginosus and Rousettus leschenaultii, two species of Sri Lankan Bats

open access: yesVaccines, 2021
Bats are known to be potential reservoirs of numerous human-pathogenic viruses. They have been identified as natural hosts for coronaviruses, causing Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in humans.

Mammal mitogenomics from invertebrate‐derived DNA

open access: yesEnvironmental 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 ...

(Highly pathogenic) avian influenza as a zoonotic agent

open access: yesVeterinary Microbiology, 2010
Zoonotic agents challenging the world every year afresh are influenza A viruses. In the past, human pandemics caused by influenza A viruses had been occurring periodically. Wild aquatic birds are carriers of the full variety of influenza virus A subtypes, and thus, most probably constitute the natural reservoir of all influenza A viruses. Whereas avian

Evidence for Human Streptococcus pneumoniae in wild and captive chimpanzees: A potential threat to wild populations

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Habituation of wild great apes for tourism and research has had a significant positive effect on the conservation of these species. However, risks associated with such activities have been identified, specifically the transmission of human respiratory ...

Simplified Bioprinting-Based 3D Cell Culture Infection Models for Virus Detection

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Studies of virus–host interactions in vitro may be hindered by biological characteristics of conventional monolayer cell cultures that differ from in vivo infection.

Phylogeography of Francisella tularensis subspecies holarctica and epidemiology of tularemia in Switzerland

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Tularemia, an endemic disease that mainly affects wild animals and humans, is caused by Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica (Fth) in Switzerland. The Swiss Fth population consist of multiple different subclades which are distributed throughout the ...

Detection of Antibodies against H5 and H7 strains in Birds: Evaluation of Influenza Pseudovirus Particle Neutralization Tests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Introduction: Avian influenza viruses circulate in bird populations, and it is important to maintain and uphold our knowledge of the viral strains that are currently of interest in this context.

AmpliCoV: Rapid Whole-Genome Sequencing Using Multiplex PCR Amplification and Real-Time Oxford Nanopore MinION Sequencing Enables Rapid Variant Identification of SARS-CoV-2

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Since the emergence of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in December 2019, the scientific community has been sharing data on epidemiology, diagnostic methods, and whole-genomic sequences almost in real time. The latter have
