Chikungunya virus and other emerging arthritogenic alphaviruses
Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 07 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41579-025-01177-8In this Review, Weaver and colleagues discuss the transmission cycles of arthritogenic alphaviruses, their vectors, epidemiology, transmission dynamics, evolution, pathophysiology and immune responses. They also outline strategies and countermeasures to anticipate and mitigate the impact of arthritogenic alphaviruses on human health.

Differential stress responsiveness determines intraspecies virulence heterogeneity and host adaptation in Listeria monocytogenes - Nature Microbiology
Differences in virulence across the Listeria monocytogenes species are determined by the fine-tuning of SigB pathway responsiveness and reflect host adaptation.

2/6 Previously, bacterial virulence was thought to reflect the content of core virulence genes as well as the presence of accessory virulence genes, which account for virulence heterogeneity.

3/6 Here, we have identified a new mechanism that explains virulence heterogeneity, not by gene content but by the differential regulation of core virulence genes, driven by differential stress response.
