    Livestock abortion surveillance in Tanzania reveals disease priorities and importance of timely collection of vaginal swab samples for attribution

    Felix Lankester, Tito J Kibona ... Sarah Cleaveland
    Livestock abortion surveillance can capture valuable information on important livestock pathogens, including those that are zoonotic and with epidemic potential, revealing importance of timely collection of diagnostic samples for attribution.

    Noncaloric monosaccharides induce excessive sprouting angiogenesis in zebrafish via foxo1a-marcksl1a signal

    Xiaoning Wang, Jinxiang Zhao ... Dong Liu
    Live imaging and single-cell sequencing analyses on zebrafish models revealed that noncaloric monosaccharides and glucose similarly induce excessive blood vessel formation due to endothelial cells' increased formation of tip cells.

    Antigenic drift and subtype interference shape A(H3N2) epidemic dynamics in the United States

    Amanda C Perofsky, John Huddleston ... Cécile Viboud
    Antigenic drift in influenza’s major surface proteins, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, contributes to variability in epidemic magnitude across seasons but is less influential than subtype interference in shaping annual outbreaks.

    Ethnic and region-specific genetic risk variants of stroke and its comorbid conditions can define the variations in the burden of stroke and its phenotypic traits

    Rashmi Sukumaran, Achuthsankar S Nair, Moinak Banerjee
    Genomic differences in stroke and its comorbid conditions can aid in refining the socio-economic interpretation of risk among different ethnicities and can assist in distinguishing their phenotypic variation.

    Recent evolutionary origin and localized diversity hotspots of mammalian coronaviruses

    Renan Maestri, Benoît Perez-Lamarque ... Hélène Morlon
    The common ancestor of extant mammalian coronaviruses originated recently in a bat species and their diversification occurred via preferential host switches rather than through codiversification with mammals.
