The interplay of co-infections in shaping COVID-19 severity: Expanding the scope beyond SARS-CoV-2
Journal of Infection and Public HealthHigh mortality has been reported in severe cases of COVID-19. Emerging reports suggested that the severity is not only due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, but also due to coinfections by other pathogens exhibiting symptoms like COVID-19.

Retroviral Infections Affect Survival and Clutch Size of Female Wild Turkeys [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We investigated the effects of two oncogenic retroviruses, lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) and reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV), on survival and reproduction of wild turkeys in Maine. REV infection reduced female annual survival by nearly half, while LPDV‐infected hens laid fewer eggs, though other reproductive metrics were unaffected.
