Strain-level translocation and enrichment dynamics of oral bacteria in the lower gastrointestinal tract of stunted children Emerging evidence suggests that ectopic colonization of oral bacteria in the lower digestive tract may exacerbate gastrointestinal disorders. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether bacteria of or...

Metagenomic Analysis of Tick-Borne Viruses in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, China: Epidemiological Risk of Potential Novel Pathogenic Viruses Relevant to Public Health Inner Mongolia, with its vast grasslands providing ideal habitats for ticks, has recently emerged as a hotspot of novel Tick-Borne virus (TBV) prevalence. However, the diversity of TBVs and their potential spillover risks remain to be elucidated.

#Metagenomic analysis of tick-borne viruses (TBVs) in Hulunbuir, Mongolia, identified four novel viruses and highlighted the potential spillover risk of TBVs in humans, underscoring the need to monitor emerging TBVs at the tick-human-livestock interface.
