Prof Johanna Fraser Johanna Fraser, PhD of Monash University presents her lab’s studies on how Wolbachia affects dengue virus replication by disrupting the replication site. This work out soon in mBio. Kriiger Loterio et al. #IVBDC2023

Really happy and honored to get this price ! A huge thanks to the organizing committee and to the participants of the #IVBDC2023 conference in Singapour ! #mosquitoes #wolbachia #pWCP #anvio @srbordenstein A. Murat Eren (Meren) Seth Bordenstein Guillaume Cambray et al.

~85% of animal species are Arthropods. ~50% of them harbor a Wolbachia symbiont. ~99% of arthropod Wolbachia harbor phage WO -#phageWO encoded proteins hijack gametes/embryos to spread Wolbachia -@srbordenstein details how to isolate. Ping for a free copy. link.springer.com/protocol/10.10…

How to kickstart the new year with a happy Team? PhD student @Hschrieke beautifully defended his phD on Culex microbiome 🎓👏 He presented his elegant and careful computational analyses with remarkable clarity. Congrats Dr! A heartfelt thank you to the committee #ProudAdvisor

I'm very excited to share our work (with Emily Fogarty and A. Murat Eren (Meren) ) to identify thousands of plasmids in nature and to characterize their evolution and ecology, now out at Nature Microbiology! nature.com/articles/s4156…

What is the most aperture opening thing a phage enzyme can do to a eukaryotic host? This new paper put that question to the test in our lab. Sperm, prophage, long noncoding RNA, and symbiosis by Rupinder Kaur, PhD Angelina McGarry Brittany Leigh J. Dylan Shropshire science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

SymbNET International Conference on Host-Microbe Symbiosis is almost fully booked. I am looking forward to meeting all participants. If you missed the deadline and would still like to register you have until 27th March to get one of last places - igc.idloom.events/symbnet-confer…

Early-bird registration for the Wolbachia Conference (13-19 Apr 2025) at Okinawa, Japan, is now open! You are welcome to enjoy the fantastic venue @OIST in front of coral beach and subtropical forest #Wolbachia #symbiosis #meeting web.tuat.ac.jp/~insect/wolbac…

Very grateful to Anna-Bella Failloux for inviting me give a lecture at the 2024 IVTAP Institut Pasteur, since 1887 and meet with enthusiastic students and colleagues from all around the world. This is such a nice course! Sorry to miss the "Paris Olympics Round Table" research.pasteur.fr/en/course/inse…

The ERC project RosaLind is looking for a postdoc in Microbial Ecogenomics! Come join our team to study microbial population genomics and symbiosis in mosquitoes. Please RT! #Montpellier #anvio #InfectiousDiseases MIVEGEC INRAE Santé Animale European Research Council (ERC)

Thrilled to see this one out! It's been so much fun to go over so many great papers from the last years 🙏🏼

Oups, with the right address: [email protected] Thanks for sharing!

Such a beautiful doctorate graduation ceremony organised by Collège Doctoral Université de Montpellier Université de Montpellier! Congrats again to Dr @Hanschrieke! And thanks to the whole team for the great support in this PhD journey #Doctorat2023

Had a fantastic visit! Thanks Martial Marbouty for coming to Montpellier to talk science and dig into data. Loved the outdoor meetings (lots of vitamin D for our Parisian colleague) and ending the day with a few beers. sorry Zoom, you’re helpful, but science is much more fun in person!

Very excited to share this paper is now in ISME Communications after several years of work! Wolbachia populations show remarkably conserved core pangenome within individuals but polymorphism between mosquitoes. w/awesome @BTrouche, @Hschrieke, O. Duron & A.

Like to join us in November in Sète, France, for the Phage meeting 2024? @FrimanScience , Gemma C Atkinson , Carolin Wendling  , Antonia Sagona #phages

Goodbye to an incredible colleague! Thank you for all the inspiration and joy you’ve brought to the team, Blandine Trouche! Wishing you all the best as you start your new journey as an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern Denmark 🎉👏
