Article Abstract

Precision cancer medicine requires effective genotyping of every patient's tumor to optimally design treatment plans. Despite its imperfect sensitivity, the rapidity and convenience of cell-free DNA sequencing makes it an essential complement to tumor genotyping, which, when used appropriately, can aid the pursuit of effective genotyping for all patients..

ANASFV: a workflow for African swine fever virus whole-genome analysis.

Microb Genom

September 2025

Department of Infectious Diseases and Public Health, Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, PR China.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is highly transmissible and can cause up to 100% mortality in pigs. The virus has spread across most regions of Asia and Europe, resulting in the deaths of millions of pigs. A deep understanding of the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of ASFV is necessary to effectively manage outbreaks.

Orthohantavirus rodent hosts and genotypes in Southern South America: A narrative review.

PLoS Negl Trop Dis

September 2025

Instituto de Diversidad y Ecología Animal (IDEA), CONICET and Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Córdoba, Córdoba, Argentina.

Orthohantaviruses, family Hantaviridae, are zoonotic agents that pose a significant public health threat, particularly in South America, where they cause severe respiratory illnesses in humans. Despite their importance, knowledge gaps remain regarding the distributions of both the viruses and their rodent hosts in Southern South America, a region characterized by a great complexity of viral genotypes and reservoirs. This review provides an updated overview of orthohantavirus hosts and their associated viral genotypes in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
