    Filovirus receptor NPC1 contributes to species-specific patterns of ebolavirus susceptibility in bats

    Melinda Ng, Esther Ndungo ... Kartik Chandran
    NPC1 is a genetic determinant of filovirus susceptibility in bats, and some variations in bat NPC1 may reflect host adaptations to reduce filovirus replication and virulence.

    A novel MARV glycoprotein-specific antibody with potentials of broad-spectrum neutralization to filovirus

    Yuting Zhang, Min Zhang ... Guojiang Chen
    A novel antibody recognizing receptor-binding region of MARV glycoprotein was developed and displays broad-spectrum neutralizing activity to filovirus species when NPC2 was fused to the N-terminus of the mAb.

    Updates to the zoonotic niche map of Ebola virus disease in Africa

    David M Pigott, Anoushka I Millear ... Simon I Hay
    Building on previous work (Pigott et al. 2014), estimates of areas of potential transmission of Ebola virus are revised and updated to provide a contemporary map for use by researchers and policymakers.

    Ebola and Marburg virus matrix layers are locally ordered assemblies of VP40 dimers

    William Wan, Mairi Clarke ... John AG Briggs
    Cryo-electron tomography reveals the structure and arrangement of the VP40 matrix protein lattice that mediates the formation of Ebola and Marburg virus particles.

    Accelerated viral dynamics in bat cell lines, with implications for zoonotic emergence

    Cara E Brook, Mike Boots ... Anieke van Leeuwen
    Bats' uniquely robust innate antiviral immune defenses select for faster transmitting viruses likely to generate extreme virulence upon spillover to secondary hosts with immune systems divergent from those of bat.

    Endangered wild salmon infected by newly discovered viruses

    Gideon J Mordecai, Kristina M Miller ... Curtis A Suttle
    Newly discovered viruses in dead and dying farmed Chinook salmon are widely distributed in threatened wild Chinook and sockeye salmon populations.

    Evolution of pathogen tolerance and emerging infections: A missing experimental paradigm

    Srijan Seal, Guha Dharmarajan, Imroze Khan
    An integrated empirical paradigm tracing immune strategies, underlying mechanisms and infection outcomes across reservoir host-pathogen systems, their specific ecological contexts, life-history features, and coevolutionary dynamics can reveal the actual patterns and processes underlying spillover in the wild.

    Effectiveness of traveller screening for emerging pathogens is shaped by epidemiology and natural history of infection

    Katelyn M Gostic, Adam J Kucharski, James O Lloyd-Smith
    Pathogen natural history, epidemiological knowledge, human behavior and epidemic progression determine whether symptom screening and questionnaires are effective barriers to geographic spread of infection by travelers.

    Unprecedented genomic diversity of RNA viruses in arthropods reveals the ancestry of negative-sense RNA viruses

    Ci-Xiu Li, Mang Shi ... Yong-Zhen Zhang
    Extensive genetic diversity and novel genome structures in RNA viruses from arthropods shed important new light on the ancestry and evolutionary history of major classes of vertebrate and plant viruses.

    Ribosome profiling of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus reveals novel features of viral gene expression

    Georgia M Cook, Katherine Brown ... Ian Brierley
    Combining ribosome profiling and RNA sequencing illuminates novel features of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus gene expression, including the regulation of polyprotein stoichiometry through temporal modulation of ribosomal frameshifting and the synthesis of non-canonical transcripts.
