TL;DR: The developed RT-LAMP assay is simple to perform, less expensive, time-efficient, and can be used in clinical laboratories for preliminary detection of SARS-CoV-2 in suspected patients and may contribute to the public health responses and disease control, especially in the areas with limited laboratory capacities.

TL;DR: Results of this study suggest that the multiplex RT-LAMP assay may provide a rapid, sensitive, cost-effective, and reliable diagnostic method for identifying recent influenza viruses infecting humans, especially in locations without access to large platforms or sophisticated equipment.

TL;DR: Genetic analysis and animal studies demonstrated that the Korean H5N6 viruses are highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses and that these viruses are novel reassortants of at least three different subtypes (H5N 6, H4N2 and H1N1).

TL;DR: The authors develop a DNA vaccine for SFTSV that is protective against lethal challenge in ferrets and show that anti-envelope antibodies are important for protection, and suggest that Gn/Gc may be the most effective antigens for inducing protective immunity and non-en envelope-specific T cell responses also can contribute to protection againstSFTSV infection.

TL;DR: An overview of the emergence of each novel HPAI H5Nx virus as well as its current epidemiological distribution is provided to better understand their complex nature.
