The application range of the Illumina COVIDSeq assay is increasing rapidly for sequencing of various viruses to support the Public Health response. pdf.sciencedirectassets.com/271981/1-s2.0-…

Now 261 confirmed cases of #Dengue in Italy of which 49 are locally acquired. New data on where introductions were from included now on the official dashboard: epicentro.iss.it/arbovirosi/das…

⁦Illumina⁩, ⁦Gates Foundation⁩ and Aegis partner to demonstrate a nationwide genomic surveillance infrastructure for detection of 280 respiratory pathogens and their AMR with whole genome sequencing and subtyping of vaccine target viruses. illumina.com/company/news-c…

The application range of ⁦Illumina⁩ COVIDSeq (and generic kit named Illumina Micro Amplicon prep) is continuously expanding for sequencing wide range of viruses beyond COVID-19. 👇Great example of protocol for sequencing Rabies virus with COVIDSeq. protocols.io/view/rabies-vi…

Locally transmitted Dengue in Southern California. Gary Schroth we need to sequence this sample with VSP!

We have increased number of DENV globally and even a locally acquired case in California. What is the take from my expert friends on risk to severity, given report below on AB enhanced infection due to COVID vaccine or past COVID infection? biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

Half the world’s population is at risk of #dengue, a viral mosquito-borne disease that was once confined to the tropics. Since controlling the mosquito is challenging, a #vaccine is urgently needed: bit.ly/3s2UnIo

🦟 Dengue Alert 🦟 We've confirmed a non-travel-related case of dengue in Long Beach, the second in California. Stay informed and learn how to protect yourself by visiting longbeach.gov/dengue. For more details visit bit.ly/3sfqZ1G

When good science meets good surveillance, we generate new knowledge that saves lives This paper published Science Magazine demonstrates why strong surveillance is needed in all countries to eliminate MPXV from the human population &  prevent re-emergence science.org/doi/full/10.11…

Great use of the Illumina COVIDSeq assay to scale surveillance beyond COVID-19 into arboviruses using same workflow with virus specific primer pools.

Researchers developed a technique to assess thousands of proteins in eye fluids & identify cellular drivers for disease & aging. Patients with diabetic retinopathy had distinctive protein patterns that shifted as the disease progressed. go.nih.gov/mhWHZnp

It’s time to apply the COVID-19 genomic surveillance infrastructure to broad detection and characterization of respiratory pathogens and their AMR determinants.
