07 December 2018: Efficacy of A Recombinant Subunit Protein-Based Zika Virus Vaccine in Non-human Primates
Dr. Axel T. Lehrer, a former COBRE Small Grants Program awardee, and his research team have successfully developed a recombinant subunit protein-based vaccine for Zika virus. Previously, he demonstrated that this vaccine was effective in protecting mice from Zika virus challenge. These studies have …

Background: With evidence of sustained transmission in more than 190 countries, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a global pandemic. Data are urgently needed about risk factors associated with clinical outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective review of 323 hospitalized patients with…
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020, Reassortment between divergent strains of Camp Ripley virus (Hantaviridae) in the northern short-tailed shrew (Blarina brevicauda)
Liphardt SW, Kang HJ, Arai S, Gu SH, Cook JA, Yanagihara R
Genomic reassortment of segmented RNA virus strains is an important evolutionary mechanism that can generate novel viruses with profound effects on human and animal health, such as the H1N1 influenza pandemic in 2009 arising from reassortment of two swine influenza viruses. Reassortment is not restr…
Viruses, 2019, Highly divergent genetic variants of soricid-borne Altai virus (Hantaviridae) in Eurasia suggest ancient host-switching events.
Kang HJ, Gu SH, Yashina LN, Cook JA, Yanagihara R.
With the recent discovery of genetically distinct hantaviruses (family Hantaviridae) in shrews (order Eulipotyphla, family Soricidae), the once-conventional view that rodents (order Rodentia) served as the primordial reservoir hosts now appears improbable. The newly identified soricid-borne hantavir…
