    Viral persistence, reactivation, and mechanisms of long COVID

    Benjamin Chen, Boris Julg ... RECOVER Mechanistic Pathways Task Force
    Persistence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and reactivation of unrelated latent viruses may play a role in the development and pathogenesis of long COVID, and future research should focus on identifying the mechanisms behind these interactions.

    Statistical modeling based on structured surveys of Australian native possum excreta harboring Mycobacterium ulcerans predicts Buruli ulcer occurrence in humans

    Koen Vandelannoote, Andrew H Buultjens ... Timothy P Stinear
    The systematic field testing of excreta from Australian native possums for the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium ulcerans can be used to build statistical models that predict the regions in southeast Australia where humans will subsequently get Buruli ulcer.

    Increased public health threat of avian-origin H3N2 influenza virus caused by its evolution in dogs

    Mingyue Chen, Yanli Lyu ... Yipeng Sun
    During adaptation in dogs, H3N2 canine influenza viruses (CIVs) became to recognize human-like SAα2,6-Gal receptor, increased replication ability in human cells, acquired a 100% transmission rate via respiratory droplet in ferret model, and human population lacked immunity to H3N2 CIVs.

    Poor air quality is associated with impaired visual cognition in the first two years of life: A longitudinal investigation

    John P Spencer, Samuel H Forbes ... Aarti Kumar
    Infants exposed to poorer air quality showed lower visual working memory at 6 and 9 months and slower visual processing speed from 6 to 21 months, suggesting interventions to improve air quality could improve cognition early in development.
