TL;DR: It is found that Chinese individuals harbour the highest number and abundance of antibiotic resistance genes, followed by Danish and Spanish individuals, and single-nucleotide polymorphism-based analysis indicates that antibiotic resistant genes from the two European populations are more closely related while the Chinese ones are clustered separately.

TL;DR: Genotypic and potential phenotypic differences imply that the isolates causing this outbreak form two separate subclades, and diversity among isolates implies that the H7N9 virus has evolved into at least two different lineages.

TL;DR: Critically, and in a similar manner to SARS-CoV-2, RmYN02 was characterized by the insertion of multiple amino acids at the junction site of the S1 and S2 subunits of the spike (S) protein, providing strong evidence that such insertion events can occur naturally in animal betacoronaviruses.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the RT-LAMP assay will be a powerful tool for SARS-CoV-2 identification, and for monitoring suspected patients, close contacts, and high-risk groups.

TL;DR: The causative agent of the duck egg drop syndrome occurring in China is a new flavivirus, an emerging and re-emerging zoonotic pathogen and BYD virus that causes severe egg-drop, could be disastrous for the duck industry.
