  3. Bats harbor many #zoonotic #viruses yet remain asymptomatic; why? @Lucie_Virevolte &co show that #bat GBP5 evolved under +ve selection, driving virus-specific restriction & lineage-specific loss of a #prenylation motif that reshaped #antiviral function @PLOSBiology plos.io/48KVgYe

  4. Zoonotic spillover is the successful transmission of a pathogenic entity—such as a virus, bacterium, or parasite—from a non-human animal reservoir into a human population. This rare but consequential event occurs when a pathogen successfully crosses the strict biological boundary between species.
