Journal ArticleDOI
Astrovirus infections in humans and animals – Molecular biology, genetic diversity, and interspecies transmissions
TL;DR: The existing knowledge concerning astrovirus infections in humans and animals is reviewed, with particular focus on the molecular biology, interspecies transmission and zoonotic potential of this group of viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary history and dynamics of dog rabies virus in western and central Africa.

TL;DR: A detailed analysis of the phylogeographical structure of this Africa 2 lineage revealed strong population subdivision at the country level, with only limited movement of virus among localities, including a possible east-to-west spread across Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serologic evidence of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 infection in dogs, Italy.
TL;DR: This serologic study aimed at determining whether evidence of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 transmission could be found in companion animals in Italy and assessment of rabies vaccine efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of broad-spectrum human monoclonal antibodies for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis.

TL;DR: Two broadly neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies that represent a valid and affordable alternative to RIG in rabies PEP protected Syrian hamsters from a lethal RABV challenge and did not affect the endogenous hamster post‐vaccination antibody response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interplay between co-divergence and cross-species transmission in the evolutionary history of bat coronaviruses.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that CoV diversity in bats is shaped by both species richness and their geographical distribution, and that CoVs exhibit clustering at the level of bat genera, with these genus-specific clusters largely associated with distinct CoV species.
