Thousands of microorganisms compose the human gut microbiota, fighting pathogens in
infectious diseases and inhibiting or inducing inflammation in different immunological …

The remarkable capacity of some viruses to adapt to new hosts and environments is highly
dependent on their ability to generate de novo diversity in a short period of time. Rates of …

The human body is inhabited by a diverse microbial community that is collectively coined as
commensal microbiota. Recent research has greatly advanced our understanding of how …

Viral infection can dramatically alter a cell's transcriptome. However, these changes have
mostly been studied by bulk measurements on many cells. Here we use single-cell mRNA …

As new pathogens emerge, new challenges must be faced. This is no different in infectious
disease research, where identifying the best tools available in laboratories to conduct an …

Wastewater surveillance (WS), when coupled with advanced molecular techniques, offers
near real-time monitoring of community-wide transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and allows …

RNA viruses exist in genetically diverse populations due to high levels of mutations, many of
which reduce viral fitness. Interestingly, intestinal bacteria can promote infection of several …

Viral infection is usually studied at the population level by averaging over millions of cells.
However, infection at the single-cell level is highly heterogeneous, with most infected cells …

Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) present increased risk for ischemic
cardiovascular complications up to 1 year after infection. Although the systemic inflammatory …

Influenza A virus is characterized by high genetic diversity,,. However, most of what is known
about influenza evolution has come from consensus sequences sampled at the …
