Mashup Score: 10Ecology, evolution and spillover of coronaviruses from bats - Nature Reviews Microbiology - 2 year(s) ago
Bats harbour a multitude of coronaviruses and owing to their diversity and wide distribution are prime reservoir hosts of emerging viruses. Ruiz-Aravena, McKee and colleagues analyse the currently available information on bat coronaviruses and discuss their role in recent and potential future spillovers.

Mashup Score: 3Horizontal gene transfer and adaptive evolution in bacteria - Nature Reviews Microbiology - 2 year(s) ago
Bacterial DNA transfers between cells in numerous ways and becomes integrated into the genome, with diverse consequences for bacterial genomes. In this Review, Arnold, Huang and Hanage discuss the underlying theory used to infer the selective forces acting on transferred DNA and how they shape patterns of genomic variation.

It's not widely known outside academic circles, but bacteria are capable of horizontal gene transfer - transmitting genetic material btwn lineages and even species. I wrote this with Brian Arnold and @I_TingH about the consequences for evolution https://t.co/2lvyiOa6Jz

So, what is the lifecycle of the virus & where do these antivirals work? Good article on lifecycle, showing various steps how SARS-CoV-2 enters the cell & replicates. There is a polymerase called the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and a viral protease https://t.co/Rwk3NUkGzy https://t.co/uk2aAjG5Ma

Mashup Score: 2
Global change, including climate change, urbanization and global travel and trade, has affected the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. In the Review, Baker, Metcalf and colleagues examine how global change affects infectious diseases, highlighting examples ranging from COVID-19 to Zika virus disease.

INOCULUM: We had proposed NPIs (masks) as a way to keep inoculum lower to reduce severity of disease while awaiting a vaccine. Vaccines do that too by keeping amount of virus you see in your nose lower as your antibodies/T cells swoop in to kill it https://t.co/dXGDPyPBFZ

Mashup Score: 2Influenza lineage extinction during the COVID-19 pandemic? - Nature Reviews Microbiology - 3 year(s) ago
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has seen a notable global reduction in influenza cases of both influenza A and B viruses. In particular, the B/Yamagata lineage has not been isolated from April 2020 to August 2021, suggesting that this influenza lineage may have become extinct, which may provide opportunities for improving availability and effectiveness of influenza vaccines.
