INTRODUCTION The accurate sequence and assembly of genomes is critical to our
understanding of evolution and genetic variation. Despite advances in short-read …

Mountain gorillas are an endangered great ape subspecies and a prominent focus for
conservation, yet we know little about their genomic diversity and evolutionary past. We …

Emerging infectious diseases threaten the survival of many species and populations by
causing large declines and altering life history traits and population demographics …

Infectious diseases have the potential to extirpate populations of great apes. As the interface
between humans and great apes expands, zoonoses pose an increasingly severe threat to …

The search for a safe and efficacious vaccine for Ebola virus continues, as no current
vaccine candidate is nearing licensure. We have developed (i) replication-competent,(ii) …

Social networks are the result of interactions between individuals at different temporal
scales. Thus, sporadic intergroup encounters and individual forays play a central role in …

We previously described the generation of a novel Ebola virus (EBOV) vaccine based on
inactivated rabies virus (RABV) containing EBOV glycoprotein (GP) incorporated in the …

Wildlife meat is an important source of animal protein for rural and urban populations in
Congo. Quantitative and qualitative surveys on the consumption of bushmeat were …

Although population-level genomic sequence data have been gathered extensively for
humans, similar data from our closest living relatives are just beginning to emerge …

Abstract The 2013–2016 West African Ebola virus (EBOV) disease outbreak was the largest
filovirus outbreak to date. Over 28 000 suspected, probable, or confirmed cases have been …
