Usmani,Sripriya Nannu Shankar,Karim Mohamed,Arantza Eiguren-Fernandez,Caroline J. Stephenson,Caroline J. Stephenson,Md. Mahbubul Alam,Md. Mahbubul Alam,Maha A. Elbadry,Maha A. Elbadry,Julia C.

TL;DR: Patients with respiratory manifestations of COVID-19 produce aerosols in the absence of aerosol-generating procedures that contain viable SARS-CoV-2, and these aerosols may serve as a source of transmission of the virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome sequences of three koi herpesvirus isolates representing the expanding distribution of an emerging disease threatening koi and common carp worldwide
Takashi Aoki,Ikuo Hirono,Ken Kurokawa,Hideo Fukuda,Ronen Nahary,Avi Eldar,Andrew J. Davison,Thomas B. Waltzek,Herve Bercovier,Ronald P. Hedrick +9 more
TL;DR: The conclusion that at least some of these mutations occurred in vivo prompts the hypothesis that loss of gene functions might be associated with emergence of the disease and provides a basis for further investigations into the molecular epidemiology of the virus.

TL;DR: Patients with respiratory manifestations of COVID-19 produce aerosols in the absence of aerosol-generating procedures that contain viable SARS-CoV-2, and these aerosols may serve as a source of transmission of the virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Koi herpesvirus represents a third cyprinid herpesvirus (CyHV-3) in the family Herpesviridae
Thomas B. Waltzek,Garry O. Kelley,David M. Stone,Keith Way,Larry A. Hanson,Hideo Fukuda,Ikuo Hirono,Takashi Aoki,Andrew J. Davison,Ronald P. Hedrick +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the sequences of four complete genes were analyzed in order to determine the relatedness of koi herpesvirus (KHV) to three fish viruses in the family Herpesviridae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the use of ram and suction during prey capture by cichlid fishes
Peter C. Wainwright,Lara A. Ferry-Graham,Thomas B. Waltzek,Andrew M. Carroll,C. Darrin Hulsey,Justin R. Grubich +5 more
TL;DR: Diversity in prey-capture behavior was found to reflect differences among species in the strategy used to approach prey, interpreted as the result of an expected exponential decline in water velocity with distance from the mouth of the suction-feeding predator.
