After the global spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA. 2, some BA. 2 subvariants,
including BA. 2.9. 1, BA. 2.11, BA. 2.12. 1, BA. 4, and BA. 5, emerged in multiple countries …

Most emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases stem from viruses that naturally
circulate in non-human vertebrates. When these viruses cross over into humans, they can …

To the Editor—One limitation of microbial community marker-gene sequencing is that it does
not provide information about the functional composition of sampled communities …

Bacteria were first detected in human tumors more than 100 years ago, but the
