'Infodemia'is a portmanteau between 'information'and 'epidemics', referring to wide and rapid
accumulation and dissemination of information, misinformation, and disinformation about a …

Infectious diseases continue to claim many lives. Prevention of morbidity and mortality from
these diseases would benefit not just from new medicines and vaccines but also from a …

Bats are distinctive among mammals due to their ability to fly, use laryngeal echolocation,
and tolerate viruses. However, there are currently no reliable cellular models for studying bat …

Anthropogenic disturbances and the subsequent loss of biodiversity are altering species
abundances and communities. Since species vary in their pathogen competence, spatio …

Bats are reservoir hosts of many zoonotic viruses with pandemic potential. We utilized single-
cell transcriptome sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze the immune response in bat lungs …

Bats have been identified as natural reservoir hosts of several zoonotic viruses, prompting
suggestions that they have unique immunological adaptations. Among bats, Old World fruit …

The interferon pathway is the first line of defense in viral infection in all mammals, and its
induction stimulates broad expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). In mice and …

Bats host a range of disease-causing viruses without displaying clinical symptoms. The
mechanisms behind this are a continuous source of interest. Here, we studied the antiviral …

Contemporary studies on aging and longevity have largely overlooked the role that
adaptation plays in lifespan variation across species. Emerging evidence indicates that the …

Understanding the immunogenetic basis of coronavirus (CoV) susceptibility in major
pathogen reservoirs, such as bats, is central to inferring their zoonotic potential. Members of …
