Editor’s summary
This study tests the hypothesis that attributes of the biotic and abiotic environment contribute to spatial and temporal variation in production of West Nile virus vectors, Culex pipiens and Culex restuans, in Chicago, Illinois. Image: Roadside storm water catch basins are common larval mosquito habitats in urban ecosystems.

Editor’s summary
There are signatures of selection at several loci associated with resistance to HIV in the genomes of Biaka Western Pygmies, whose communities historically overlapped with the range of chimpanzee subspecies that carries the SIV strain ancestral to HIV-1.

Editor’s summary
Comparing museum specimens with modern populations reveals little evidence that hunting of koalas in the early 20th century caused the low genetic diversity currently seen in this species, suggesting a more ancient factor is to blame.

Editor’s summary
The characterized double-labeled FVs described here provide new mechanistic insights into FV early entry steps, demonstrating that productive viral fusion occurs early after target cell attachment and uptake. The infectious double-labeled FVs provide important tools for future analyses on individual FV fusion events in real time using advanced imaging techniques.
