DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6315
Abstract: Abstract Repeated emergence of zoonotic viruses from bat reservoirs into human populations demands predictive approaches to preemptively identify virusâcarrying bat species. Here, we use machine learning to examine drivers of viral diversity in bats, determine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msystems.00192-22
Abstract: We explored the vast genetic diversity of environmental viruses by using a combination of cellular metagenome (as opposed to virome) sequencing using high-fidelity long-read sequences (in this case, PacBio CCS). This approach resulted in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.922623
Abstract: The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis) inhabiting the Yantze River, China is critically endangered because of the influences of infectious disease, human activity, and water contamination. Viral diseases are one of the crucial factors… read more here.
