Lead by @brianrwasik.bsky.social shows that spread is determined by the dog population structure. The virus has not become better at transmitting in dogs after 1000s of transfers. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40040347/07 Mar 2025 20:07 +0000at://did:plc:z3how2gfc2xpwkwhyaymb3m6/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljsspkl2o226https://bsky.app/profile/colinparrish.bsky.social/post/3ljr3bfvgws2aA new study from Femi (Oluwafemi) Adu and our collaborators Susan Hafenstein and Hyunwook Lee, showing the structures of the two main antibody forms in dog found in the polyclonal response to the canine parvovirus capsid after modified-live virus vaccination. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.242346012207 Mar 2025 03:35 +0000at://did:plc:z3how2gfc2xpwkwhyaymb3m6/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljr3bfvgws2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/colinparrish.bsky.social/post/3lfmsziytac22FMDV in Germany! Highly transmissible virus that can cause devastating economic consequences if not controlled immediately.
