It’s a pretty good day! First, check out the last piece out from Kirk Deitsch lab about environmental changes and antigenic variation.

Very tryp (and antigenic variation..) specific question. Does anyone have or know of anyone that has an anti-antat1.1 monoclonal antibody? Might this be in the works somewhere out there? Or a monoclonal against any VSG expressed by pleomorphs?

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress.

A sad day for the parasitology community - A huge thank you to all at VEuPathDB, this resource has been fundamental to the progress of our field over the last 20+ years. Totally baffled by this decision #NIAID

This is a baffling decision that savagely curtails our ability to fight against neglected infectious diseases. I imagine pathogens everywhere are celebrating.

It’s difficult to wrap one’s mind around NIH’s decision to shut down the most important shared resource for work in many of the world’s most impactful infectious diseases. science.org/content/articl…
