Much of medical research relies on animal models to deepen knowledge of the causes of
animal and human diseases, as well as to enable the development of innovative therapies …

Zebrafish possess a highly developed immune system that is remarkably similar to the
human one. Therefore, it is expected that the majority of the signalling pathways and …

Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are the most common cause of foodborne illness, with a
societal cost of $60 billion and 219,000 deaths/year. The lack of robust small animal models …

Abstract The Zebrafish Model Organism Database (ZFIN; https://zfin. org) is the central
resource for genetic, genomic, and phenotypic data for zebrafish (Danio rerio) research …

Transgenic labeling of innate immune cell lineages within the larval zebrafish allows for real-
time, in vivo analyses of microbial pathogenesis within a vertebrate host. To date, labeling of …

Anosmia, loss of smell, is a prevalent symptom of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Anosmia may be
explained by several mechanisms driven by infection of non-neuronal cells and damage in …

We have recently established that human norovirus (HuNoV) replicates efficiently in
zebrafish larvae after inoculation of a clinical sample into the yolk, providing a simple and …

Influenza A viruses (IAV) cause annual seasonal human respiratory disease epidemics. In
addition, IAV have been implicated in occasional pandemics with inordinate health and …

The air-filled organs (AOs) of vertebrates (lungs and swim bladders) have evolved unique
functions (air-breathing or buoyancy control in water) to adapt to different environments …

The concern of the emergence of a pandemic influenza virus has sparked an increased
effort toward the development and testing of novel influenza antivirals. Central to this is the …
