Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Can Marburg virus be sexually transmitted?
Background and Aim Marburg virus (MARV) is a highly virulent virus of animal origin and the cause of a lethal infection (known as Marburg virus disease [MVD]) with a case‐fatality ratio ranging from 24% to 90%.

By integrating data from in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models, our research identifies the MARV glycoprotein as a remarkable hemorrhagic factor, filling a major gap in this important field. It also provides practical experimental tools for the basic research on viral pathogenesis and applied research aimed at antiviral intervention for hemorrhagic ...

Marburg virus pathogenesis – differences and similarities in humans and animal models
Marburg virus (MARV) is a highly pathogenic virus associated with severe disease and mortality rates as high as 90%. Outbreaks of MARV are sporadic, deadly, and often characterized by a lack of resources and facilities to diagnose and treat patients ...

Chandipura Virus: An Emerging Neurological Threat Transmitted by Sandflies in India
Chandipura virus (CHPV), a neurotropic arbovirus transmitted primarily by sandflies, has emerged as a significant public health concern in India following recurrent outbreaks with high pediatric fatality rates. This review highlights the virus's virology, transmission dynamics, clinical features, and the urgent need for improved diagnostics ...

Genetically modified, α‐Gal‐depleted porcine pericardium and wild type tissues are investigated for hemocompatibility and material properties such as mechanobiology and ECM profile to carve out the suitability of the gene‐modified tissue as material for biological heart valve prostheses. ABSTRACT Xenogeneic pericardium is the main source for biological

Extracellular vesicle release reflects a thermodynamic membrane baseline in cells maintained far from equilibrium. Cargo loading follows stochastic partitioning, so most vesicles contribute to flux while only a minority can exert function; biological impact arises only when sequential quantitative thresholds collectively exceed stochastic and dilution ...
