Abstract:
Receptor binding is the first step for virus infection. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Gorka et al. conducted large-scale receptor binding assays with machine learning to predict susceptible host species and guide proactive filovirus surveillance. This study provides multidisciplinary blueprints for research and prevention of zoonotic disease.
