Detecting disease progression from animal movement using hidden Markov models

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
We demonstrate how (H)HMMs can be tailored to different epidemiological scenarios and provide a template workflow for developing and selecting Hidden Markov models to infer disease status from animal movement data. Identifying infection before mortality occurs offers a valuable early‐warning tool for population managers, reduces reliance on difficult ...

Virus‐Like Particle‐Based Countermeasures Against Rift Valley Fever Virus [PDF]

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2012
SummaryRift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an arbovirus that causes significant morbidity and mortality in both humans and livestock. With increased world travel and the threat of bioterrorism, there is a real risk of RVFV spreading to naïve geographical areas (Trans. R. Soc. Trop. Med. Hyg., 73, 1979, 618; MMWR Morb. Mortal.

A Review of Infectious and Non‐Infectious Causes of Pregnancy Loss in Goats

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Goats play a vital role in global agriculture, particularly in developing regions, and are increasingly kept as companion animals. Given their economic and social importance, pregnancy losses in goats represent a substantial challenge, leading to considerable economic losses and raising concerns about animal welfare and public health, as some ...

ZNRD2 Mediated Nucleoprotein Aggregation Impairs Respiratory Syncytial Virus Replication

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 12, 27 February 2026.
During RSV infection, nucleoprotein (N) forms RNA‐bound oligomers. The host protein ZNRD2 binds to these oligomers, promoting their transition into insoluble aggregates. These aggregates simultaneously sequester functional N to restrict viral production and disrupt chaperonin assembly quality control by interfering with ZNRD2's role as an adaptor ...
