A virus originally found in animals, mpox – which causes the disease of the same name – is now circulating in humans. Since 2022, it has been the cause of major epidemics spreading outside endemic are...

At the School for Influenza in Brisbane, TWiV speaks with Kirsty, Erik and Rebecca about their careers and their research.

Qiu et al. established a spatial distribution database of wild-bird-associated pathogens through extensive literature search and data collection. They mapped diversity matrices and distributions, systematically explored differences in pathogens among various wild bird populations, and linked wild bird habitats to pathogen distributions to predict geographic hotspots for pathogens.

Preliminary analysis of 98 genomic sequences of MPXV clade Ib cases from Burundi, July to September 2024 Introduction A large mpox clade Ib virus outbreak started in the province of South Kivu in th...

When nature evolves a gene over eons at scale, it produces a diversity of homologous sequences with patterns of conservation and change that contain rich structural, functional, and historical informa...

Here, employing 2,270 metagenomic samples across 10 different ruminant species, the authors construct a catalogue of the ruminant gut archaeome, comprised of 998 nonredundant genomes, expanding knowle...

After nearly a decade without reported human A/H5N1 infections, Cambodia faced a sudden resurgence with 16 cases between February 2023 and August 2024, all caused by A/H5 clade 2.3.2.1c viruses. Fourt...

EVEscape, a flexible framework using deep learning and biophysical structural information, enables early identification of concerning mutations in viruses with pandemic potential, facilitating the dev...

Coronaviruses (CoVs) pose a threat to human health globally, as highlighted by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndr…
