TL;DR: The results of this study are critical for understanding the clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 in a naturally susceptible host species, and for risk assessment.

TL;DR: A review of factors important for ASFV infection, replication, maintenance, and transmission, with attention to the role of the argasid soft-tick vector and the sylvatic transmission cycle, current and future control strategies, and knowledge gaps regarding the virus itself, its vector and host species are presented in this paper.

TL;DR: This research presents a novel PCR assay that distinguishes between Eurasian and North American pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus matrix genes and suggests human-to-cat transmission is presumed.

TL;DR: Observations related to deceptive imprinting in multiple systems are described and strategies for overcoming this phenomenon in the design of vaccines capable of inducing protection against highly variable pathogens are proposed.

TL;DR: It is indicated that although different porcine cell lines are permissive to SARS-CoV-2, five-week old pigs are not susceptible to infection via oral/intranasal/intratracheal challenge and are not a suitable pre-clinical animal model to study Sars-Cov-2 pathogenesis or efficacy of respective vaccines or therapeutics.
