The Institut Pasteur is leaving X. Due to serious issues observed since its acquisition by Elon Musk, the Institut Pasteur is suspending its activities on this platform starting today and invites its followers to join on other platforms. ➡️ linktr.ee/institutpasteur

🚨Primera detección del virus Sindbis (SINV) en el suroeste de España En 2022, durante la vigilancia de mosquitos en Andalucía, se identificó este arbovirus zoonótico por primera vez en el país. Aquí los puntos clave de este descubrimiento 🦟👇 va hilo isciii.es/w/detectado-po…

🚨 FINALLY OUT IN nature. A tour de force effort. 🦇 10 new bat genomes, excess of immune gene adaptations, species specific adaptations in ISG15, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of bat ISG15.

A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same portal to enter human cells as the virus that causes COVID-19, raising the risk that it could spark an outbreak in people go.nature.com/4gLKy50

Cell death (understudied in bats) is a phenomenal process that plays a role in controlling the spread of virus infection, among many other important roles. Read the latest on this here. Kesavardan S Subham Das Disha jain #LZCI journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Expedición liderada por iviromics del Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa. Muy agradecidos a UNESPA por financiar la expedición y al CSIC Fundación General CSIC por el gran apoyo para hacerla posible.

A pleasure taking to Roland Pease about CSIC-UNESPA Antarctic Expedition and identification of high spread of avian flu HPAI in the Antarctic Peninsula (nearly 200 cases, 13 animal species, 24 sites). Go to the BBC World Science in Action interview👇👇 bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

A new preprint is out at bioRxiv! Here we performed round-robin pseudovirus experiments using 53 sarbecoviruses and ACE2s from 17 mammals to elucidate the ACE2 tropism of sarbecoviruses in natural hosts🦇, potential intermediate hosts🦫 & humans👤 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our recent preprint on quantifying pandemic potential from experimental transmission studies, spearheaded by grad student Elizabeth Somsen in my group and in collab with Troy Sutton & lab at Penn State and Anice Lowen at Emory: biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

What was the ancestral receptor of merbecoviruses—ACE2, DPP4, or unknown? 🤔 This preview covers recent papers on HKU5 and other merbecoviruses, countermeasures, and an alternative evolutionary scenario for Merbecovirus receptor plasticity. Read here: cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Holaaa!!! 🔍📢Estudiantes que el año que viene hagan máster interesados en virología, tenemos en el laboratorio 2 perfiles de beca JAEINTRO del Postgrado CSIC. 1. evasión inmune del mpox virus de la viruela del mono y 2. análisis de secuencias de gripe en muestras de la Antartida

The recency and geographical origins of the bat viruses ancestral to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 Cell What a great work Jonathan Jonathan Pekar and Spyros Spyros Lytras 🤩🤩🤩‼️ cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

1/11 New preprint alert! Our latest Natalia T Freund study in which we dissect how the immune system fights #Mpox and identify potent human neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (#mAbs) that target a novel key viral protein, #MpoxA28. Now on biorxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…🧵

Thrilled (and humbled!) to share that since today I am the Chair of the Virology Department at Institut Pasteur. Grateful to my colleagues for their trust. Now let’s push the frontiers of virus research together. The sky is the limit! 🦠🔬 #LoveVirology #Science #WomenInSTEM

Happy to share the final version of our article on the identification and characterization of novel bat coronaviruses, published in PLOS Pathogens 🦇🎉 Congrats to Claudia, first author of this paper, and all co-authors! 👏 dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…
