The frequency and importance of polyploidy in tropical rainforest tree radiations
Summary The presence of more than two copies of the genome in an organism, termed ‘polyploidy’, is a crucial force in plant evolution, generating genetic, phenotypic and ecological diversity. [Correction added on 22 January 2026, after first online publication: the preceding sentence has been corrected.] The Amazonian tree flora is the most species ...

ABSTRACT Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a neglected rodent‐borne zoonotic virus primarily infecting house mice. The virus can be highly pathogenic, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and in congenital infections. LCMV is distributed worldwide but shows local clustering, probably due to the highly structured populations of its ...

Cross-protection against European swine influenza viruses in the context of infection immunity against the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus : studies in the pig model of influenza [PDF]
Pigs are natural hosts for the same influenza virus subtypes as humans and are a valuable model for cross-protection studies with influenza. In this study, we have used the pig model to examine the extent of virological protection between a) the 2009 ...

Leveraging Long‐Term Ecological Research Initiatives Into the One Health Synthesis
We address important ecological and evolutionary considerations for advancing a One Health perspective by drawing attention to faunal and ecosystem changes occurring through the Great Plains of North America that have strong implications for future risk of emerging pathogens including zoonoses.

Arrival of Oropouche Virus in a Nonendemic Area in Northeastern Brazil, 2024
ABSTRACT Orthobunyavirus oropoucheense (OROV) causes Oropouche fever, which exhibits symptoms similar to those of other arboviral diseases. Although it has historically been restricted to the Amazon region, the virus has recently spread to other areas of Brazil.

Naturally Occurring Sin Nombre Virus Genetic Reassortants
Genetic reassortment has been shown to play an important role in the evolution of several segmented RNA viruses and in the epidemiology of associated diseases. Sin Nombre (SN) virus is the cause of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome throughout the western United States.

Forecasting Influenza Epidemics and Pandemics in the Age of AI and Machine Learning
ABSTRACT Influenza's rapid evolution, driven by its segmented RNA genome, high mutation rate, and extensive animal reservoirs, underpins its capacity to cause recurring epidemics and unpredictable pandemics. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming influenza forecasting by enabling the prediction of ...
