Since the topic of the moment is the new betacoronavirus with FCS found in Brazil, I would like to draw attention to this preprint. It describes two new betacoronaviruses found in the same genus of bats as Takada et al, and propose a new subgenus, the ambecoviruses.

Ambecovirus, a novel Betacoronavirus subgenus circulating in neotropical bats sheds new light on bat-borne coronaviruses evolution
Understanding the viral diversity harboured by wildlife is essential for effective prediction and prevention of future zoonotic outbreaks. Bats, in particular, are recognized as natural reservoirs for...

Our new study shows that two DENV-4 genotype II strains - a lab-adapted and a clinical isolate - differently affect Aedes aegypti fertility, flight, and infection, revealing genotype-specific impacts on vector competence.

A laboratory-adapted and a clinical isolate of dengue virus serotype 4 differently impact Aedes aegypti life-history traits relevant to vectorial capacity | Microbiology Spectrum
As dengue virus (DENV) cases rise globally, vector control strategies targeting Aedes aegypti remain essential to public health. The effectiveness of these interventions depends

Aedes aegypti were decapitated and given blood enemas. Surprisingly, they produced more urate. All due to endocrine control.
