Anticipating the species jump: surveillance for emerging viral threats. [PDF]
Zoonotic disease surveillance is typically triggered after animal pathogens have already infected humans. Are there ways to identify high-risk viruses before they emerge in humans? If so, then how and where can identifications be made and by what methods?

Seasonality of human orthopoxvirus infections
Variola infections (smallpox) showed seasonality in temperate climates. This sharp seasonality (peaking in the Winter-Spring) may have important ramifications for control and elimination of human monkeypox (MPX) and should be considered in planning public health response.

Novel Orthopoxvirus Infection in an Alaska Resident [PDF]
Human infection by orthopoxviruses is being reported with increasing frequency, attributed in part to the cessation of smallpox vaccination and concomitant waning of population-level immunity. In July 2015, a female resident of interior Alaska presented to an urgent care clinic with a dermal lesion consistent with poxvirus infection. Laboratory testing
