Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

Host-driven evolution of PCV2: insights into genetic diversity and adaptation
Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionsPorcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a significant pathogen in swine, exhibiting notable genetic and phenotypic diversity. This study explores the evolutionary mechanisms influencing PCV2 variability, emphasizing the role of viral features ...

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Background Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) imposes a substantial burden in the United States. The use of whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) for public health surveillance of HRSV lags that for other viral pathogens. The objective of this study was to expand the scope and depth of WGS‐based surveillance of HRSV in Minnesota, USA.

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Over the past two decades, West Africa has experienced recurrent incursions of Goose/Guangdong‐lineage highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), with Nigeria as a hotspot for repeated introductions and sustained circulation. Since 2021, European‐origin clade 2.3.4.4b H5Nx genotypes, particularly EA‐2020‐C, have predominated in regional

e3SIM: Epidemiological‐ecological‐evolutionary simulation framework for genomic epidemiology
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1051-1059, April 2026.Abstract Infectious disease dynamics result from the complex interplay of epidemiological, ecological and evolutionary (epi‐eco‐evo) processes. Accurately modelling these coupled processes is crucial for understanding pathogen spread and informing public health strategies.

Scientists' Warning on the Rapid Evolution of Parasites in the Anthropocene
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Human activities are changing the natural world at an accelerating pace, and as a consequence exerting novel and often strong selection pressures on living organisms. For species with traits conferring huge inherent evolutionary potential, like parasites, the outcome may be rapid adaptive responses spanning multiple phenotypic traits. The rise

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.This study integrates two decades of surveillance with genomic and structural analyses to decipher how spike protein glycosylation haplotypes drive avian coronavirus evolution. We uncover how specific glycosylation patterns associate with receptor‐binding affinity, shape global transmission dynamics, and correlate with clinical outcomes.
