A big step forward towards a treatment for #dengue. Proud that more than a decade of hard work in our lab & CD3/CISTIM ⁦KU Leuven⁩ funded by the ⁦⁦Wellcome⁩ and in collaboration with ⁦@JNJGlobalHealth⁩ results in this success! jnj.com/janssen-announ…

In #Leuven is vandaag het Virusbank Platform van de KU Leuven ingehuldigd. Er wordt onderzoek gedaan naar verschillende virussen om ons beter te wapenen tegen toekomstige pandemieën. #robnieuws #robtv

Van België een health & biotech valley maken. Dat is de belofte die de overheid, onze universiteiten en onze industrie aan elkaar hebben gedaan. En we houden ons eraan. Trots om 's werelds eerste Virusbank in te huldigen met Frank Vandenbroucke, Thomas Dermine en KU Leuven.

Today the RSV Awareness Week '23 begins. Together, we aim to raise as much awareness as possible for RSV. Why do you want to raise awareness about RSV? Let us know with a comment and share the video! 💪🏼 #RSV #RSvirus #SharetobeRSVaware #rsvpatientnetwork #awareness #week

Happy to share our recently published paper about cellular immunity in RSV-infected older adults from RESCEU Project

Raising #RSV awareness requires using the appropriate language for each audience. With this printable e-book, parents can now explain to their kids what their siblings or friends may be going through.

Since mid-October 2023, WHO has been monitoring data from Chinese surveillance systems that have been showing an increase in respiratory illness in children in northern China. Today, WHO held a teleconference with Chinese health authorities in which they provided requested data

UKHSA has detected a single confirmed human case of influenza A(H1N2)v, which is the first detection of this strain of flu in a human in the UK. We are monitoring the situation closely. Read more in our news story: gov.uk/government/new…

"a case without direct contact with animals, and the presence of a symptomatic household contact, mean that some limited degree of human-to-human transmission may have occurred (‘low confidence’). No onwards transmission has been detected"

So happy to see our study from RESCEU Project is published. Thank you Peter Openshaw for this nice summary to share!

Vietnam 🇻🇳 reports its first ever human case of A/H9 bird flu, according to state run media. There has been no confirmation of the exact subtype, but it is most likely H9N2. Since 1998, 132 human cases of H9N2 have been reported.

The #H5N1 #birdflu clade 2.3.4.4b infected so far ~ 140 dairy herds in 12 US states. This may cause major losses for the industry. Increases risk for spread to humans, which could trigger an H5N1 pandemic. ⁦Science Magazine⁩ science.org/content/articl…

A greater sense of urgency needed to control #H5N1 #birdflu 2.3.4.4b Influenza leaves no room for complacency. Spillover from birds to carnivores, marine mammals and cattle provide pathways for exposure to and adaptation in man. ⁦Science Magazine⁩ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
