“…While viruses are generally perceived the ‘simplest’ to model, dispersion processes can still be quite sophisticated; inclusion of transfer by asymptomatic host species or sediment adsorption ( Cantrell et al, 2020 ). For convenience of calculations, we assumed that viruses are passively moved by simulated currents and followed for a predetermined length of time.…”

“…The potential risk of effluent carried SARS-CoV-2 into the ocean has not aroused public concern, partly due to its vast dilution capability. Biophysical model simulating dispersion of virus in the marine environment after direct release can be a powerful tool providing with a reliable prediction of the spreading and path of the pathogens ( Cantrell et al, 2020 ). In this study, we simulated the scope of SARS-COVID-2 from outfalls and estimated its potential threat in an inland sea, the Bohai Sea of China.…”

A novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has caused more than 150 million confirmed infections worldwide, while it is not clear whether it affects the coastal waters. This paper proposed a biophysical model based on 16 scenarios with different virus half-life parameters to assess potential viral contamination from 25 municipal sewage outfalls into the Bohai Sea. Viral concentration maps showing spatial and temporal changes are provided based on a biophysical model under multiple scenarios. Results demonstrate that adjacent sea areas can become exposed to SARS-CoV-2 via water-borne transport from outfalls, with a higher risk in winter, because SARS-CoV-2 can be highly stable at low temperature. As coastal waters are the ultimate sink for wastewater and the epidemic will last for long time, this work is of great importance to raise awareness, identify vulnerable areas for marine mammals, and avoid the risk of exposure of tourists at bathing beach.

Bacteria inhabit all known ecological niches and establish interactions with organisms from all kingdoms of life. These interactions are mediated by a wide variety of mechanisms and very often involve the secretion of diverse molecules from the bacterial cells. The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a bacterial protein secretion system that uses a bacteriophage-like machinery to secrete a diverse array of effectors, usually translocating them directly into neighbouring cells. These effectors display toxic activity in the recipient cell, making the T6SS an effective weapon during inter-bacterial competition and interactions with eukaryotic cells. Over the last two decades, microbiology research has experienced a shift towards using systems-based approaches to study the interactions between diverse organisms and their communities in an ecological context. Here, we focus on this aspect of the T6SS. We consider how our perspective of the T6SS has developed and examine what is currently known about the impact that bacteria deploying the T6SS can have in diverse environments, including niches associated with plants, insects and mammals. We consider how T6SS-mediated interactions can affect host organisms by shaping their microbiota, as well as the diverse interactions that can be established between different microorganisms through the deployment of this versatile secretion system.

Phylodynamic assessment of control measures for highly pathogenic avian influenza epidemics in France

Phylodynamic methods have successfully been used to describe viral spread history but their applications for assessing specific control measures are rare. In 2016-17, France experienced a devastating epidemic of a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N8 clade 2.3.4.4b). Using 196 viral genomes, we conducted a phylodynamic analysis combined with generalised linear model and showed that the large-scale preventive culling of ducks significantly reduced the viral spread between départements (French administrative division). We also found that the virus likely spread more frequently between départements that shared borders, but the spread was not linked to duck transport between départements. Duck transport within départements increased the within-département transmission intensity, although the association was weak. Together, these results indicated that the virus spread in short-distances, either between adjacent départements or within départements. Results also suggested that the restrictions on duck transport within départements might not have stopped the viral spread completely. Overall, by testing specific hypothesis related to different control measures, we demonstrated that phylodynamics methods are capable of investigating the impacts of control measures on viral spread.
