NewsEbola preparedness needs to move beyond a single virus species
Decades of Ebola preparedness have produced vaccines, diagnostics and treatments, but many were built primarily around Zaire ebolavirus. A new perspective argues that future preparedness should span the wider ebolavirus genus, combining broader diagnostics, multivalent vaccines, conserved therapeutic targets and continuous genomic surveillance.

NewsEels transmit a virus through biting: a discovery that changes our understanding of viral infections in fish
Contrary to what was previously believed, viruses infecting fish are not transmitted exclusively through water acting as an abiotic vector. A team of researchers has demonstrated that a virus affecting European eels can spread very efficiently through biting during aggressive interactions between individuals.
