Sheep-to-Human Transmission of Orf Virus during Eid al-Adha Religious Practices, France
Five persons in France were infected with Orf virus after skin wounds were exposed to infected sheep tissues during Eid al-Adha, the Muslim Feast of Sacrifice. Infections were confirmed by electron microscopy, PCR, and sequence analysis.

This study performs pan‐viromic profiling of 14,529 samples from 5,710 domestic herbivores across five Chinese provinces, establishing the DhCN‐Virome (1,085,360 viral metagenomes). It reveals species/sample‐specific viromic signatures and cross‐species transmission dynamics, aiding unified disease control.

Oncolytic Parapoxvirus induces Gasdermin E-mediated pyroptosis and activates antitumor immunity
Oncolytic viruses are able to target tumours and thought to induce apoptosis while remodelling the tumour immune microenvironment. Here authors show in an oncolytic parapoxvirus ovis model that pyroptosis, a highly immunogenic Gasdermin-E-dependent cell ...

ORFV: A Novel Oncolytic and Immune Stimulating Parapoxvirus Therapeutic
Replicating viruses for the treatment of cancer have a number of advantages over traditional therapeutic modalities. They are highly targeted, self-amplifying, and have the added potential to act as both gene-therapy delivery vehicles and oncolytic ...

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.
