✈️ Very excited to be off to Daejeon 🇰🇷 to present our work conducted at .MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research on SFTSV immunopathogenesis! 🐭 🦠 🕷️ #tick #virus #bunyavirus #lovevirology

So happy this is finally out! Scientific Reports MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research Whilst investigating how #Wolbachia blocks #arboviruses we found evidence that strains use different mechanisms! Understanding variations allows us to future proof release programmes. nature.com/articles/s4159… 🧵🧵🧵

Yrs ago RME handed me 30 papers on #OROV n said, 'learn everything'. It felt like no one was as concerned about OROV as us n our Brazilian colleagues. Now, as a #newPI, I study it again amid a concerning outbreak. Here's my review on what we know so far - go.shr.lc/4eNfzVM

New review article 'Oropouche Virus: An Emerging Orthobunyavirus' provides a concise overview of the 2024 outbreak and emphasises the urgent need for antivirals and vaccines: doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.… #OpenAccess #JGenVirol #PublishAndRead agreement
